Abstract

The eye is one of the vital sense organs. Apart from being a physical disability, the psychological impact can be quite traumatic. The early cosmetic restoration of acquired defects boosts the patient's confidence and enhances maintenance of tissue health. The following article describes a technique to customize a prosthesis in a patient of the pediatric age group. Such a fabricated prosthesis adapts better than prefabricated stock prosthesis and the accurate positioning of the iris disk enhances the esthetic outcome.
