Fitting the anophthalmic socket: achieving cosmesis with comfort.
In attempting to achieve acceptable cosmesis while maintaining comfort for the anophthalmic patient, communication between the ocularist and oculoplastic surgeon is of paramount importance. The ocularist must realize his limitations in correcting deformities prosthetically and must communicate these limitations to the ophthalmologist when surgical alternatives are being considered.
