Abstract

Eye defects constitute a major portion of maxillofacial defects. An attempt has been made to rehabilitate the lost eye with a great challenge by the skills and materials available. A custom made orbital prosthesis using silicon to replace soft tissue, acrylic for sclera and papillary part and adhesive for retention is good alternative. Key-words: Eye Prosthesis, Silicon Elastomers, Moulage Key Messages: Lost eyes have been replaced with prosthesis for many years in the form of stock or custom ocular prosthesis. Great evolution in field of maxillofacial material has made it possible to nearly duplicate patient's features in prosthesis.
