Abstract : This case report outlines the successful prosthetic rehabilitation after orbital exenteration. Postsurgical exenteration by an ophthalmologist and maxillofacial prosthetist led to a user-friendly customized ocular-orbital silicone prosthesis with spectacles providing an appropriate fit, restoring facial symmetry and aesthetics, and improving the patient's quality of life. This interdisciplinary approach highlights the significance of tailored prosthetic solutions in optimizing outcomes for such patients under the guidance of an ophthalmologist and maxillofacial prosthodontist.

Keywords : Orbital Rehabilitation Prosthesis, Oculo- Orbital Prosthesis, Spectacle-Retained, Heat-Cured Silicone Prosthesis.
