Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Prosthetics
Biomedical Engineering

Background:

Orbital prostheses are crucial for restoring aesthetics and function after orbital exenteration.
Accurate indexing of the ocular prosthesis is essential for proper fit and stability.
Current indexing methods may be complex or damage the prosthesis or moulage.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a simple, anterior-aspect technique for indexing the ocular component of an orbital prosthesis.
To ensure the iris of the ocular prosthesis remains undamaged during the indexing process.
To provide a stable, repeatable, and cost-effective indexing solution.

Main Methods:

The technique involves indexing the ocular prosthesis from the anterior aspect.
Care is taken to avoid any damage to the iris during the procedure.
The moulage is protected from damage as indexing is performed anteriorly.

Main Results:

The described technique successfully indexes the ocular prosthesis without affecting the iris.
No damage occurs to the moulage, allowing for its multiple uses.
The method ensures stability and prevents rotation of the ocular prosthesis.

Conclusions:

This straightforward anterior indexing technique offers a stable and repeatable method for ocular prosthesis fitting.
The technique is cost-effective, preserves the prosthesis and moulage, and simplifies processing.
It provides a valuable alternative for achieving precise ocular prosthesis placement.
