Objective: To describe a method of fabricating of ocular prosthesis. Discussion: The conventionalmethod of painting the iris region of a scleral prosthesis has been circumvented in this method. Fabricatingan ocular prosthesis by conventional methods requires painting the scleral region. Painting the cornealregion of the prosthesis is a tedious process. This article describes an easier, faster and a more aesthetictechnique of customizing an ocular prosthesis.
