Abstract

True Anophthalmos is an extremely rare condition and can cause psychological problems due to not only the absence of an eye but also from the disfigurement of the orbital socket and the eyelids. The present case shows the multidisciplinary approach in the treatment of a patient with anophthalmos. He needed an ocular plastic surgery for correct prosthesis insertion. The disfigurement caused by the loss of ocular content when restored with prosthesis maintains the facial symmetry there by improves the esthetics as well as anatomic and physiological function.
