Several ocular disorders may require surgical interventions resulting in defect in the corresponding area. The associated physiological effect of these defects on the patient demands immediate intervention, management and rehabilitation by a multi–disciplinary team of specialists. In this procedure of rehabilitation, the role of a prosthodontist in fabricating an ocular prosthesis with acceptable esthetics, to restore facial symmetry and normal appearance for anophthalmic patient is of paramount importance. This article presents a technique for fabricating ocular prosthesis using preformed acrylic shells.
