Abstrakt:	An absence or any disfigurement to the eye leads to psychological handicap for the patient. An ocular defect is a defect of an eye because of a cyst, road traffic accident, or enucleation of an eye due to infection. While correcting this type of defect, maxillofacial prosthodontists should consider all aspects such as esthetics, comfort, and functions of the ocular prosthesis, which gives a lifelike appearance to the prosthesis. A prosthetic eye wearer patient complained of asymmetry and opaque appearance of the ocular prosthesis. The patient had lost his eye in a road traffic accident and has been wearing a prosthesis for 8-12 months but is not pleased with how the prosthesis looks. A novel prosthesis created by the use of sublimation transfer technology and three-dimensional printing to improve the esthetics exactly replicates the contralateral normal eye. In a proposed case report, an algorithm for the fabrication of customized ocular prostheses was improved. A smooth blend of conventional as well as digital methods is used to optimize the results.
