3D Printed Eye Prostheses Can Help Children with Missing or Underdeveloped Eyes to Grow Normally

Microphthalmia is a condition in which babies are born with severely underdeveloped eyes, while anophthalmia is a condition in which one or both eyes are missing altogether. Both conditions obviously cause blindness, but that's not the only complication - without a full-sized eye, the eye socket won't grow and develop normally, causing facial deformity.
