Abstract
Physical defects that compromise appearance or function, prevents an individual from leading a normal life, prompt the individual to seek treatment that will reinstate an acceptable normalcy. The disfigurement associated with loss of an eye can cause significant physical and emotional problems. The role of maxillofacial prosthodontists in fabricating an ocular prosthesis with acceptable esthetics and restoring normal appearance is essential. This article presents simplified impression technique and fabrication of ocular prosthesis.
