The technique of fabricating an ocular prosthesis out of glass is a rare art originating from Thüringen (formerly DDR). This technique is still practised by a few artists. A close collaboration between the ocularist and surgeon is indispensible towards achieving an optimal adaptation. We present several rules of plastic surgery enabling the cavity to receive the prosthesis after enucleation. The realization and adaptation of such a prosthesis has been filmed and will be presented.
