Esthetics is a vital social concern. The loss of any part of the body can be an extremely discouragingoccasion in a person’s life. Loss of an eye because of tumors, congenital abnormalities, and traumais one such troublesome situation. Eye prosthesis boosts the morale and makes the life sociallyacceptable. A correctly placed ocular prosthesis should reestablish the normal opening of the eye,support the eyelids, reestablish a degree of movement, and be satisfactorily held and estheticallysatisfying. A customized acrylic eye fulfills all these requirements. In the current article, a new andeconomic technique was used to duplicate corneal prominence using a clear acrylic shell. Thecharacterization was further done to give a life‑like appearance to the eye prostheses.
