Abstract: Post-surgical orbital defects pose a severe effect on patient, psychologically and physically, especially in the eventual return to the society and daily routine. In cases where reconstructive surgery is not possible, prosthetic rehabilitation is crucial in addressing this issue. Implant-supported orbital prosthesis provides superior retention, however, it is not economically acceptable for some cases. Various modes of retention are available to cater to each patient’s diagnosis, treatment need and economical status. This article describes the procedures in the construction of a customized silicone orbital prosthesis using adhesive and spectacles for retention. This technique is cost-effective and simple while providing comfort and satisfaction for the patient.
