Abstract: Facial features are the most important non-verbal means of communication. The mutilation of a portion of the face can cause a heavy impact on the self-image and personality of an individual which may lead to physical and psychological distress. The loss of eye requires early rehabilitation so that the patient may return to a normal life. The primary objective, in each case, is to construct a prosthesis that will restore the defect, improve esthetics, and thereby benefit the morale of the patient. With the evolution of maxillofacial rehabilitation, ocular prosthesis has proved to be a boon. An ocular prosthesis replicates anatomy of human eye utilizing prosthetic materials to imitate healthy eye and surrounding tissue. Therefore, it is rightly said, “maxillofacial rehabilitation adds life to years”. The present case report enlightens the technique of fabrication, aesthetics achieved, and functionality of ocular prosthesis.
