People who have lost or damaged their eyes due to a traumatic injury, surgery, illness, or disease like cancer can consider cosmetic rehabilitation, in which a prosthetic eye scleral shell is constructed and fitted to restore the external appearance of a person.

A prosthetic eye is basically an "artificial" eye custom-made with acrylic in accordance with the fellow eye. A wax model is prepared, which is later fabricated and hand-painted to match the iris and pupil of the other eye. Before a prosthetic eye is constructed and fitted, it's crucial to ensure that the socket of the damaged eye is fit for the prosthesis.

A kind of ocular prosthesis, a scleral cover shell is a thin prosthetic eye worn over the shrunken, discolored, or disfigured eye in order to cover the front surface of the eye globe. A dark-colored disc of paint at the center resembles the cornea. The scleral shell moves with the movement of the other eye and ensures symmetry, giving a more natural life-like experience to the patient.
