Abstract
The disfigurement associated with the loss of an eye may result in significant physical and emotional problems. The article describes the successful rehabilitation of a patient with missing eye with a custom made ocular prosthesis. This allows the patient to be accepted in society without being a victim of unwanted sympathy.
