An ocular defect can be due to many reasons such as congenital absence of an eye and acquired causes which occurs due to enucleation or exenteration procedure. Ocular defects requires urgent rehabilitation to prevent further changes and to prevent shrinkage. In this article we are going to describe a for fabrication of a prosthesis that should be light weighted (pneumatic) using a lost salt technique basically to reduce the weight of prosthesis for large socket, to overcome the worsening effects of conventional solid prosthesis.

Keywords: Ocular prosthesis ocular defect, Lost salt technique, Hollow prosthesis.
