An ocular defect can be a congenital anomaly or an acquired defect. Rehabilitation of such defect with customized well fitting prosthesis that restores the shape of associated anatomical structures and volume of the socket, not only require an artistic skill but also technical knowledge as every case is unique on its own. The main objective of this article is to describe innovative yet simple technique using NAES ruler for iris selection and fixation of gaze yielding results with utmost patient satisfaction and acceptance.
