Abstract
An orbital prosthesis is a good alternative to surgical reconstruction for cosmetic and psychological rehabilitation of the patient. It should be aesthetic, durable, light weight, economical, and most importantly retentive. A clinical report explaining the prosthetic rehabilitation of post surgical case of orbital trauma that was followed by orbital exenteration has been described. The aim of the orbital prosthesis was to reinstate the esthetics and boost the psychological and mental state of the patient. The techniques employed along with incorporation of the patient's own hair in eyelashes greatly improved the esthetics.
