Orbital cosmetic prosthesis

Orbital Prosthesis When the entire contents of the orbit are removed (exenteration), including eyelids, we can create a silicone prosthesis that mimics the eyelids and holds a prosthetic eye in place. An orbital prosthesis can include eyelashes and eyebrows, but the eyelids do not blink and the eye does not move along with the opposite eye. Patients with deep sockets usually end up with better outcomes than patients with shallow sockets. Unfortunately, patients with extremely shallow sockets are not good candidates for orbital prostheses.
