The quality of life in users of ocular prostheses who attend eye care centers in the Province of Manabí after adaptation show improvement mostly in the aesthetic factor and not so much in the psychological or safety to society, to determine the quality of life. In this population, we proceeded to validate an evaluation instrument with three experts in the social and ocular field that allowed to know the factors that affect the quality of life after adaptation, influencing negatively in some cases. Some of the users live in marginal areas, difficult access to basic services, health care, lack of employment which causes not lead a full life. In this research it is known that there is no comprehensive rehabilitation plan that must be applied by the multidisciplinary team after adaptation in the users of eye prostheses and their family members so that they can return to society.
