A 50-year-old lady with history of irradiation to the socket following enucleation for retinoblastoma reported to us with severe socket contracture, dry socket, and inadequate lid closure with a poorly retained ocular prosthesis. She was using a stone in the socket for support with a cracked stock ocular prosthesis placed over it. A two-piece ocular prosthesis was created with a base and shell with neodymium-boron-ferrous magnets in each part, with good retention and positioning, and this was cosmetically acceptable to the patient. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of such a two-piece magnetic ocular prosthesis Topics: Custom, magnetic, ocular, prosthesis, Ophthalmology, RE1-994 Publisher: Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications Year: 2018 DOI identifier: 10.4103/ijo.IJO_421_18 OAI identifier: oai:doaj.org/article:d3f4f6c6fa85432cab27a3989c326243 Provided by: Directory of Open Access Journals (new) Journal: Download PDF: Sorry, we are unable to provide the full text but you may find it at the following location(s): https://doaj.org/toc/0301-4738 (external link) http://www.ijo.in/article.asp?...
