Abstract
The disfigurement associated with eye loss can cause significant physical and emotional disturbance. Cosmetic rehabilitation with custom made prosthesis gives such individuals professional and social acceptance and alleviates problems. A case of a custom-made ocular acrylic prosthesis is presented here, which had acceptable fit, retention and esthetics.
