Title: A Simple Method of Positioning the Iris Disk on a Custom-Made Ocular Prosthesis. A Clinical Report
Abstract: Abstract We report two cases of ocular prosthesis fabrication that make use of a transparent graph grid for positioning the iris disk. The custom‐made ocular prostheses achieved intimate contact with the tissue bed enabling ideal fit. As asymmetry may result in a squint‐eyed appearance, proper positioning of the iris disk in the scleral wax pattern is vital to fabricating the custom‐made artificial eye. The position of the iris disk in the custom‐made ocular prosthesis was in symmetry with that of the natural eye, restoring esthetics of the patient.
