Abstract

A 56 year old woman came to our clinic with complaints of rheum in her eye. It has been understood that eighteen years before her story, the patient underwent an evisceration surgery after the reparation of her penetrating left eye, and after the third month of the operation, she didn’t go to the examinations. During the consulation the patient only had complaints about rheum, and it has been understood that the patient had no additional problems, besides the irregularities developing on the surface of the prothesis. We aimed to present the interesting case of this patient, whose prothesis were creating no problems, and were kept on during the eighteen year period.
