Abstract
The rehabilitation with prosthetic eyes is decisive after removal of an eye, since the eyes and the periocular region are crucial for interpersonal communication. Integrated care provided by a multidisciplinary team including ocularists and ophthalmologists is recommended for these patients. Clinical socket evaluation should focus on the dry anophthalmic socket syndrome (DASS), chronic socket infection, socket cysts, socket granulomas, and socket melanosis. For contracted sockets, a non-surgical compressor treatment should be applied as first-line therapy to form stable fornices and allow adequate prosthesis fitting.
