Abstract
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.

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. Defects of the eye may include removal of the entire orbit - exenteration or enucleation of only the eyeball ‐ scleral defects.[1] Suffering a loss of vision, these patients become esthetically andpsychologically handicapped.[2] Not all such defects areamenable to surgical correction.
