VILAR SALAS, Susana; NOVOA CASTRO, Arturo  and  QUINTERO BUSUTIL, Mayrelis. Prosthetic rehabilitation for the traumatic ocular loss. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2012, vol.25, suppl.2, pp. 606-610. ISSN 0864-2176.

This paper described the protocol for the care of trauma patients at the emergency service with diagnosis of loss of the eyeball for any cause. To this end, a review of ocular trauma and ocular rehabilitation by using prosthesis was made on Internet and on the national and international printed literature. The rehabilitation treatment program is applied to these patients from the end of the surgery, aided by the contourer and the definitive ocular prosthesis, to the follow-up process carried out by the prosthetic department. The early start of treatment is important to fully succeed in tailoring the final ocular prosthesis.

Keywords : serious ocular trauma; ocular prothesis; rehabilitation.
