“…Regarding the former, more than 75% received implants and more than 68% received ocular prostheses; receiving implants as an outcome is lower than that reported in the study of Ruiz-Suárez et al, 2017 in Mexico with 83% but higher in terms of prosthesis since they reported only 46% 7 . Undoubtedly, the images in figure 1 reveal successful treatments together with the prosthetist that improve the patient's quality of life, allowing the recovery of confidence, self-esteem, and relationship with their daily life 21 .…”

Background: Patients submitted to eye evisceration present varied clinical and sociodemographic characteristics that determine surgical motivation. In Colombia, there are still gaps in information describing this population on the Caribbean coast. Objective: To characterize patients undergoing eye evisceration in an ophthalmologic referral center in the Caribbean. Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study of patients undergoing evisceration in the period 2014-2021 in a ColombianCaribbean reference center. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were performed to find differences between groups. Results: Forty-two eyes were included in the period 2014-2021. About 69% of the patients were male, 83.3% were from low socioeconomic strata, and 76.2% lived in urban areas. The population was characterized as infantile age for the congenital cause, adult for trauma, and older adult for pathological. Regarding evisceration, the most common cause was pathological, with 57.1% related to the presence of diseases such as glaucoma and corneal ulcer. The most relevant presenting signs were ocular pain, which was associated with the pathological group (p = 0.003) and phthisis bulbi with trauma (p = 0.008). Conclusion: Pathological ocular evisceration due to glaucoma and corneal ulcers was the most frequent cause. At least 75% of cases received implants and more than 68% prostheses.

“…6 Other systems combine mechanical and adhesive mechanisms to retain the prosthesis. 7 Success of these mechanisms depend on variables such as prosthesis weight, environmental humidity, and patient's functional role. Magnets and extraoral implants have been used adapted together to achieve an accurate position of somato-prosthesis.…”

The authors report the case of an 80-year-old male patient who had a modified left orbit exenteration with preservation of myocutaneus eyelid flap. The radical surgical treatment was performed due to high-grade recurrent pleomorphic conjunctival sarcoma with extension to the sclera and medial orbit. Five previous resection surgeries were performed, until the exenteration was considered. Prosthetic rehabilitation was planned integrating interdisciplinary biomedical knowledge, to create a new hybrid osteointegrated

“…Many methods for the precise positioning of the iris have been described in the literature, such as an ocular locator, fixed calipers, grids, dividers, inverted anatomic tracings, and visual assessment. [ 4 ] The present literature review aims to highlight all the proposed techniques for iris positioning in a prosthetic eye with their pros and cons. This study will help the maxillofacial prosthodontist select the appropriate iris positioning technique to enhance the prosthetic eye’s esthetics.…”

The disfigurement associated due to the loss of an eye can cause a significant physical and psychological disturbance. Psychological distress among such unfortunate patients can be reduced by providing an artificial eye. Rehabilitating such patients with an ocular defects is the most challenging task for a prosthodontist. The custom-made ocular prostheses are preferred over the prefabricated stock eye shells as it provides intimate contact with the tissue bed, enabling an ideal fit. For an esthetic ocular prosthesis, the precise positioning of an iris is a primary requirement to avoid the squint eye appearance. Various case reports are documented in the literature for centralizing the iris in the prosthetic eye. This review article explores the established methods and techniques for positioning the iris in a custom-made ocular prosthesis.
