Abstract

It's a god given right of every human being to appear human. After enucleation, evisceration and exenteration of the eye, the goal is to replace the missing tissues with an artificial prosthesis and restore the facial symmetry and normal appearance of the anophthalmic patient. Therefore the combined efforts of the ophthalmologist, the plastic surgeon, and the maxillofacial Prosthodontist are essential in order to restore the patient's quality of life. Custom made prostheses provide more esthetic and precise result as compared tostock eye prosthesis. Simplification of thetechnique with thecommonly available materials makes it easier. This case report describes the fabrication of eye prosthesis in acost effective manner with aunique fabrication technique.

Keywords: Ocular Prosthesis, Anophthalmic Patient, Congenital Defect Iris Painting.
