Abstract

An eye is a vital organ and an important component of facial expression. Several ocular and orbitaldisorders require surgical intervention that may result not only in ocular defects but also have a crippling effect on the psychology on those affected. 1 Maxillofacial prostheses which restore and replace stomatognathic and associated facial structures with artificial substitutes, aim to improve the patients aesthetics, restore and maintain health of the remaining structures and consequently provide physical and mental well-being. 2 Enucleation of the eye is therefore normally followed by fabrication of an ocular prosthesis to improve esthetics. The primary purpose of an ocular prosthesis is to maintain the volume of eye socket and create an illusion of a healthy eye and surrounding tissues. The present article describes the prosthetic management of patient with ocular defect with a custom made ocular prosthesis.
