Three-dimensional(3D)printing technology represents an additive manufacturing process wherein computer-aided designs are materialized through the sequential layering of materials by 3D printers, culminating in the formation of complete objects. Since its inception, this technology has found extensive application across various clinical domains, notably enhancing outcomes in surgical assistance. Recently, the utilization of 3D printing in ophthalmic plastic surgery has gained momentum, with researchers conducting numerous valuable explorations into the design of ophthalmic plastic surgeries, the development of surgical fillers for ophthalmic plastic orbital conditions, and the customized design of auxiliary devices for bothoncological and non-oncological lesions. Despite the majority of these studies being confined to the conceptual design phase or limited to case studies, 3D printing technology has demonstrated unparalleled advantages in elevating therapeutic efficacy and surgical precision. To encapsulate the current state and future research directions of 3D printing technology within the realm of ophthalmic plastic surgery, this article aims to review its applications in this field, with the intention of providing a reference for pertinent clinical investigations.
