This study was conducted on twelve subjects; who had undergone surgical enucleation of the eye as a result of accidents. Their cosmetic problem was corrected by serial construction of cone formers with bigger sizes and lining modification of stock eye prostheses. The method resulted in sufficient room for the retention of the eye prosthesis and gradually improved the cosmetic problem developed from narrow palpebral fissures.
