These prostheses are generally produced using two materials, glass or acrylic, and the manufacturing process is currently based only on manual procedures. However, these materials have many disadvantages, such as high hardness and fragility of glass or gradual loss of glossing. All the main disadvantages have been eliminated in the newly developed ocular prosthesis made from silicone. The publication contains the production procedure of an innovative ocular prosthesis based on the use of additive technologies.
