Abstract: The ocular prosthesis is a modality of facial prosthesis
that acts on the repair of loss or deformity of the ocular globe.
Prosthetic rehabilitations destined to anophthalmic cavities that
suffered cicatricial retraction represent a challenge during fabrica tion since they often need to be reduced due to atrophic of the cavity
and simultaneously need to have a good esthetic appearance
regarding the contour and artificial iris. This clinical report
describes the ocular prosthetic rehabilitation of a 77-year-old
man with anophthalmic atrophic cavity due to herpes zoster induced loss. The treatment focused on comfort and adaptation
during use, on satisfactory retention and esthetic appearance, and on
care to achieve total eye closure while wearing the ocular prosthe sis. This article shows an unusual prosthetic rehabilitation of
atrophic anophthalmic cavity with 6 months of follow-up.
