An ocular prosthesis is an artificial substitute for an enucleated eye ball. Eyes, besides being an essential sense organ, are the beauty of the face. The disfigurement associated with the loss of an eye can cause significant social and psychological consequences. The prime requisites of eye prosthesis include a convincingly normal appearance and more significantly a comfortable fit which will motivate the patient to use the prosthesis. The ocular prostheses are either ready–made or custom–made and are produced from either glass or methyl methacrylate resin. Glass is not the material of choice as it is subject to damage and surface deterioration from contact with orbital fluids, leading to reduced usable life expectancy.
