case_images: Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry with complaint of missing right eye (Fig. 1). Detailed and careful case history recording revealed that the patient had been diagnosed having retinoblastoma of the right eye and the affected eye had to be enucleated. Patient examination consisting of internal examination of the anophthalmic socket revealed a healthy epithelial lining.

case_images: In color characterization and globe completion, the iris photographic image of approximately 1 mm smaller than the diameter of the measured patient's iris was cut (Fig. 5) as this will be compensated for, by the magnification caused by the overlay of clear acrylic resin in the completed prosthesis. Soft color tones of yellow and brown were added onto the medial canthal area to simulate the normal eye (Fig. 5).
