## TL;DR

This paper introduces a new technique for making ocular prostheses that requires fewer patient visits without sacrificing quality.

## Contribution

A modified technique is presented to reduce clinical visits for ocular prosthesis fabrication.

## Key findings

- The modified technique reduces the number of required patient visits.
- The final prosthesis quality is maintained with the new approach.

## Abstract

The traditional approach to fabricating ocular prostheses often requires multiple visits, including impression making, wax pattern try-in, iris coloring, iris button fitting, and final prosthesis delivery. This process can be challenging for patients with logistical difficulties. Additionally, not all clinics offer this service due to limitations in expertise and equipment. This case report aims to present a modified technique for creating ocular prostheses that reduces the number of clinical visits while maintaining the quality of the final result.
