Abstract
Since ancient times eyes are known to be lsquowindows to the soulrsquo. Loss of an eye can have crippling effect on the appearance as well as the psychology of an individual. An ocular prosthesis both stock and custom-made enhances the esthetics by artificially replacing bulb of the eye. Various techniques have been described in literature to customize an ocular prosthesis and enhance its appearance to closely match the natural eye of the patient. Symmetry and characterization are critical for esthetic appearance of an ocular prosthesis. This case report describes a novel technique for characterization of an acrylic resin ocular prosthesis using ceramic stains mixed with an external glaze. The prime purpose of the rendered treatment plan was to restore the lost ocular structure considering the patientrsquos esthetic demands. The final outcome of the prosthesis fabricated using this technique validates the use of composite glaze as a simple yet a predictable and economical laboratory technique.
