Factors that affect a person's quality of life can be influenced by aesthetics. In the case of involving orbits, it is a big problem in aesthetic factors and must be done immediately so as not to affect the quality of life of a person. A 76-year-old male patient came to the prosthodontic dental and oral hospital on a referral from an ophthalmologist to have an eye prosthesis because he wanted to improve his appearance. The patient wants to have an eye prosthesis immediately because of embarrassment. The creation of an eye prosthesis by printing with extraoral scans and orbital contour design is the treatment plan given to the patient. After that, the first visit to the orbital socket is scanned, the color of the eye is selected and the patient can go home. The contour of the orbit of the eye can be designed with 3D software and 3D printed for the working model, as well as the search for a suitable stock eye for the patient. The next visit can be done by selecting colors and trying them out. This speeds up visits, prosthetic comfort and aesthetics.
