Conclusions
From the current study we can conclude the following:
Digitally designed 3D-printed customized ocular prosthesis are considered a successful treatment modality for treating anophthalmic patients.Patients with 3D-printed ocular prostheses had a lower percentage of microbial growth in their sockets compared to the conventional PMMA wearers, although the difference was not staistically significant. However, patients with digital prostheses reported significantly higher comfort levels than conventional prosthesis wearers.Regardless of the construction method, all patients require an adaptation period with their prostheses. Over time, they all show improvements in terms of comfort, discharge, lacrimation, and the need for lubrication.
