Figure 1 (A) Before the eye prosthesis wearing, a boy who underwent evisceration with no orbital implant when he was 3 months old. He could not wear the eye prosthesis because of volume insufficiency and shallow fornice. After that he underwent the dermis-fat graft with lateral tarsal strip procedure when he was 3 years old. (B) The custom-made eye prosthesis. (C) After the eye prosthesis wearing at 6-year-postoperative dermis-fat graft.

Figure 2 (A) Before the eye prosthesis wearing, a 25-year-old male who underwent evisceration with nonporous implant. He could not wear the eye prosthesis because of volume insufficiency. After that he underwent the secondary dermis-fat graft. (B) The custom-made eye prosthesis. (C) After the eye prosthesis wearing at 2.8-year-postoperative dermis-fat graft.
