Abstract

Aim: The aim of this technique is to institute “Augmented Reality Tool” in the field of maxillofacial prosthesis for an accurate and precise iris positioning in a prosthetic eye. Background: A congenital defect, irreversible damage, a painful blind eye, sympathetic ophthalmia, or the requirement for histological confirmation of a suspected illness can all result in the absence or loss of an eye. In such circumstances, meticulous preoperative, surgical, and prosthetic planning using a multidisciplinary approach is imperative for successful rehabilitation. Technique: Augmented reality filter was used to provide precise mapping of facial landmarks and to aid in iris positioning. Smartphone device (S22) was used and artificial intelligence (AI)-generated Instagram application was unfurled and augmented reality (AR) filter was instituted. The filter available in the application made it possible to see and confirm the iris shell's location in three dimensions from various angles. The dimensions thus provided, aided in the correct positioning of the iris in the prosthetic eye. Conclusion: Iris positioning stands as one of the crucial steps in fabricating a patient-specific ocular prosthesis. In the present case report, iris positioning was done using AI has provided an excellent esthetics results and patient compliance was met with satisfaction. Clinical significance: Accurate positioning of iris can be done using AR tool which is popular, easily accessible, less technique sensitive, and can be performed with slightest efforts in small clinical set-ups. Relating to patient, it is comfortable, economic, and trouble-free procedure.
