Abstract

Introduction: The eye is an essential organ for the relationship with the environment, and for the development of the human being it is essential to have adequate visual health.
Objective: To describe the preparation of an ocular prosthesis for aesthetic improvement in a patient with phthisis bulbi in the right eye.
Case report: A 59-year-old white male patient who arrived at the prosthesis clinic of the Julio Antonio Mella University Polyclinic in the province of Camagüey, referred from Ophthalmology Services with a diagnosis of phthisis bulbi of the right eye. Upon interrogation, he states that when he was a child, playing with his brother, he received a blow to the eye, for which he was treated at the ophthalmology service of the Eduardo Agramonte Piña Pediatric Hospital in the city of Camagüey. He had progressive visual loss that ended in blindness and eye color change. He says that he has never had pain, but he is concerned about his aesthetics.
Conclusions: The prosthetic treatment of ocular globe phthisis is a challenging situation for the rehabilitation team, given the characteristics of this ocular defect. With the use of this type of ocular prosthesis in the patient's rehabilitation, it was possible to improve their aesthetics, which led to physical, mental and social recovery.
