description 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.

To rehabilitate this ocular defect, “single” appointment technique with clinically available material was adopted, which is discussed in the present communication.
