Abstract
Ocular prostheses have a long history of successful use, and variations in the techniques and materials used have been introduced through the years. Advantages such as reduced treatment time and increased simplicity make this method a good alternative to conventional tedious methods of fabricating ocular prostheses. This case report outlines a sequence of steps for construction of cost effective custom made ocular prostheses by a simple method.
