Determination of Precise Iris Positioning in Ocular Prosthesis Using an Eyewear

Abstract

Positioning the iris to the ideal symmetrical position is a critical step in the fabrication of an ocular prosthesis. Any asymmetry in this position leads to a squinted eye look which leaves a psychological impact on the patient.  A correctly placed iris lends a natural and aesthetic appearance to the ocular prosthesis. This case report illustrates the use of transparent graphic grid held in position using a spectacle frame which is easier to use without the need of any assistance.
