The traumatic loss of an eye is not just the loss of an essential sense organ. It results in life-long agony of not being like others with two eyes, which can see and admire the nature's beauty. As young patients are quite sensitive to peer pressure and for them, the greatest challenges are in the terms of identity and social acceptance, so, early rehabilitation is must in such patients. This article reports on the rehabilitation of a 13-year boy with custom ocular prosthesis for his traumatically injured left eye. The custom made ocular prosthesis fitted over the patient's left eye with ophthalmomalacia, successfully restored the patient's aesthetics and improved his social acceptance thereby, improving his quality of life.
