| Summary: | Ocular conformers are small, acrylic-cup shaped devices that are placed inside anophthalmic sockets for 6-8 weeks following surgical removal of eyeball (evisceration or enucleation) till definitive ocular prosthesis can be fabricated for aesthetic pleasure. As these are temporary devices, it is rare to encounter any complications due to their presence. Conjunctival granulomas are fibrovascular proliferation as a result of chronic irritation to the conjunctival tissues. Impression granulomas are rarely reported in literature. Here, we report a case of triple impression granuloma of the conjunctiva that was encountered in a middle-aged male due to neglected conformer. |
