Ocular conformers are considered the first stage of treatment to enlarge the cavity and these can be static or dynamic. The expander that we propose are hydrogel balls that in their natural state have a size of 3 mm. and they are osmotic filled, becoming hydrated up to 18 mm with tears and moisture from the patient's orbital cavity. The objective is to use an osmotic hydrogel former and demonstrate its evolution phase during treatment. The methodology will be of an exploratory and experimental descriptive type where the hydrogel former will be applied to the patient and the evidenced results will be described step by step, in the experimental part the rehabilitation effects of the orbital cavity will be evaluated. As a result, it is reported that by adapting the osmotic hydrogel conformer, it was possible to expand the ocular cavity and insert a provisional ocular prosthesis. It is concluded that using an osmotic-type hydrogel former, it was possible to expand the girl's cul-de-sac, which shows a great therapeutic help in the process of adapting personalized ocular prostheses.
