Ocular prosthesis implantation is the process of surgically placing a custom-made prosthetic eye after the removal or loss of an eye due to injury, disease, or congenital conditions. The procedure typically follows an evisceration or enucleation surgery, where the natural eye is removed or its contents are taken out.

The prosthetic eye is designed to match the size, shape, and color of the remaining eye for cosmetic purposes. The implant is placed in the eye socket, and the prosthetic eye is positioned over it.

Ocular prosthesis implantation improves the cosmetic appearance of the eye area and allows for better facial symmetry, greatly enhancing the patient’s quality of life.
