Abstract
Human eyes are the most precious gift from nature; presence of a pair of eye not only gives expression to life but also adds dignity to the face. The loss of an eye causes disfigurement of the face and causes anxiety, stress and depression in their life. The rehabilitation of patients with congenital or acquired defects of the eye is a challenging job. The aim of the rehabilitation is to restore the patient's normal appearance, comfort along with reasonable functional eye movements. This case report describes the rehabilitation of partially eviscerated eye of the patient with custom made ocular prosthesis.Entities:
