Abstract

Phthisis bulbi is an eye condition caused by the healing of wounds due to severe trauma, inflammation, or tumour necrosis. Eye-related disabilities can cause significant physical and emotional distress. This case report describes prosthetic rehabilitation in a patient with phthisis bulbi using a simple digital photography technique for iris creation, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing and satisfactory outcome. A 23-year-old woman diagnosed with left eye atrophy bulbi/phthisis bulbi was referred to RSGMP Un-has for ocular prosthesis fabrication. After anatomical eye moulding, the laboratory stage followed, involving the creation of a wax pattern and acrylic scleral shell, followed by a try-in on the patient, iris creation using photography techniques, and ocular prosthesis insertion. It was concluded that iris creation using digital photography techniques can produce aesthetic ocular pros-theses and save more time than conventional techniques.
