Abstract
Loss of an eye to tumor, trauma, or end-stage ocular disease can be devastating. The loss of binocular visual function with reduced peripheral visual field and loss of depth perception may result in difficulties with activities of daily living and have various vocational restrictions [1–6]. Individuals may experience a sense of facial disfigurement and poor self-esteem as a result of the “lost body part” [3–6]. Because eye contact is such an essential part of human interaction, it is extremely important for the patient with an artificial eye to maintain a natural, normal-appearing prosthetic eye (Fig. 62.1a, b).
