A person with eyeball abnormalities or undeveloped eyeballs will definitely have reduced self-confidence, quality of life and psychological decline. Because the eyes are one of the most important aspects of life. Therefore, making eye prostheses is an important role in overcoming complaints and a person's quality of life. This case report explains in full the process from the initial stage to completion of making an eye prosthesis for a patient, where in this case there was a defect in the patient's left eye area caused by an abnormality in the development of the eyeball since birth. Making eye prostheses focuses on the size of the eye prosthesis, the color of the eye sclera, the size and color of the iris and the size of the eye pupil. This must be adjusted to the antagonist to get good aesthetics. Therefore, in this case, a custom-made prosthesis is used rather than a stock eye to achieve the desired fit. One of the advantages of using a custom-made prosthesis is that you can adjust the prosthesis to the condition of the available tissue, the results are more natural, and the cost is more affordable than stock eye prosthesis.
