title: A simplified approach to rehabilitate an ocular defect: Ocular prosthesis.
abstract: A 42-year-old male patient complaint with missing right eye was referred to the Department of Prosthodontics and Crown and Bridge. This patient was seeking artificial eye replacement. On careful clinical examination, a defect with a shrunken orbit and intact tissue bed was found in the patient. As the patient was economically very poor, modified stock ocular prosthesis was advised. To rehabilitate this ocular defect, "single" appointment technique with clinically available material was adopted, which is discussed in the present communication.
