OBJECTIVE: A review of literature for ocular prosthesis is presented along with a case report of a geriatric patient. REVIEW OF LITERATURE: The evolution of ocular prosthesis, materials and methods, fabrication techniques for custom and stock eye prosthesis, delivery and after care for the ocular prosthesis are reviewed. CASE REPORT: A 74-year-old female patient who had undergone enucleation of her right eye was restored with a stock ocular prosthesis. CONCLUSION: The use of stock ocular prosthesis of appropriate contour, size and colour can provide an acceptable aesthetic result.
