A method for orienting the ocular portion of an orbital prosthesis.
The success of an orbital prosthesis depends largely on the correct orientation of the pupil and ocular bulb. The method presented in this article uses a transparency projection from which a tracing of prominent facial features is made. The transfer of these dimensions to the facial cast reduces the chairside time that is necessary to position the pupil and orbital bulb.
