Eye is a vital organ, not only in terms of vision, but also being an important component of facial expression. The disfigurement associated with eye loss can cause significant physical and emotional disturbance. An artificial prosthesis is probably the only alternative in such cases to help rehabiltate such patient The present article is an illustration of a case report of a patient treated with custom-made ocular prosthesis of left eye using putty index as a guide for fabrication of the wax pattern.

Key words: Custom-made ocular prosthesis; Putty index.
