Abstract
An ocular prosthesis is a simulation of human anatomic eyeball to create an illusion of a normal healthy eye and surrounding structures. So the perfect replication of colour, contour and size of the contralateral eye is essential to provide realism and symmetry for the patient. In addition, precise recording of the anopthalmic socket is also essential for the proper retention and form of prosthesis. This article aims to describe the prosthetic rehabilitation of two patients after enucleation surgery with custom made ocular prosthesis. Keywords: Anopthalmic socket, Enucleation, Eye prosthesis, Ocular defect, Ocular prosthesis

Summary
The human body’s window to the outside world, the eye is a complex optical system whose importance is not restricted to vision alone. The patient was asked to perform various eye movements and the movement of the iris eye button was matched to the contralateral eye. An iris button closely resembling the contralateral eye in terms of colour, size, and shape was selected and placed in the marked position. At this stage, the extension, fit and support were checked. The characterization of the scleral shell was done using suitable stains in the presence of the patient and was matched with the contralateral eye. The prosthesis was retrieved, finished and margins were rounded off It was polished using buff and pumice to give it a natural look. The iris button was secured in position and white coloured acrylic was packed into the mould and later acrylised.
