Loss of an eye or any body part has an intimidating and crippling effect on the psychosocial well-being of the patient. Although the artificial prosthesis cannot restore the function, it can highly improve the patient’s esthetics and help them regain their psychological confidence. Literature has advocated various rehabilitation modalities including empirical use of stock shells, modifying stock eyes, custom-made ocular prostheses, ocular implants, etc. A custom-made ocular prosthesis, among all the techniques, shows improved adaptation to tissue bed, distributes uniform pressure, provides a more esthetic and precise result, and is relatively cost-effective. This case report explores a relatively comprehensive method of custom ocular prosthesis fabrication for an ocular defect with a satisfactory outcome.

An ocular defect may affect a patient psychologically and an ocular prosthesis is given to uplift the patient psychologically and improve the confidence. Defects of the eye may follow the removal of a part of or the entire orbit. This results in the patient becoming visually and psychologically handicapped. Restoring the defect with a prosthesis not only restores esthetics but also gives back the lost confidence to the patient. This is a case report of a patient with a prosthetic eye fabricated by the combination of a stock eye and a custom ocular prosthesis.
