title: Cosmetic eye modified to retain vision.
abstract: A patient with bilateral ocular injuries with hypotony and light perception vision was fitted with scleral shells modified to allow light to pass through the central 4-mm area. This modification, allowing the patient to retain light perception with the prosthesis in place, aided in the rehabilitation of this patient by encouraging his independent ambulation, providing clues to time, place, and direction, and offering an enhanced cosmetic effect.
