    An innovative expansion prosthesis was developed for anophthalmic or microphthalmic sockets. This device, made from orthodontic wire and silicone, aids in socket expansion for improved ocular prosthesis fit.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Prosthodontics

    Background:

    • Anophthalmia and microphthalmia present challenges in fitting ocular prostheses.
    • Conventional ocular prostheses may require modification for optimal socket adaptation.
    • Socket expansion is crucial for accommodating prosthetic devices in certain patients.

    Observation:

    • A novel expansion prosthesis was designed for anophthalmic and microphthalmic sockets.
    • The prosthesis integrates orthodontic wire covered with silicone tubing.
    • This modified component is fused to a standard methyl-methacrylate ocular prosthesis.

    Findings:

    • The developed device facilitates expansion of the anophthalmic or microphthalmic socket.
    • The construction involves reinforcing a standard ocular prosthesis with a flexible, expandable element.
