ABSTRACT
It is obvious that a person suffers from severe emotional, social, and psychological trauma when an eye is lost due to any reason. After evisceration, custom made ocular prosthesis can be used to improve facial aesthetics as well as social representation of that person. It is always a challenge to properly fabricate an alternate to the lost eye. But after fabrication, it certainly improves psychological satisfaction of the patient. In this case report, it is attempted to show how a patient was aesthetically rehabilitated with an ocular prosthesis.
Key words: Ocular prosthesis, Ocular conformer, Scleral shell.
