Int J Ophthalmol. 2017 Jan 18;10(1):148-156. doi: 10.18240/ijo.2017.01.24. eCollection 2017.

Abstract

The article highlights a new method for the fabrication of an ocular prosthesis by the incorporation of a ceramic scleral veneer. The steps of fabrication include impression making, wax try-in, performing a "cut-back" on a selected stock eye, insertion of the IPS e-max press scleral veneer, finishing and insertion. It also includes a detailed review on non-integrated ocular prostheses.

Keywords: IPS e-max press; ceramic eye prosthesis; ocular prosthesis.
