Absence of fornix in anopthalmic socket can result in difficulty in prosthetic and cosmetic rehabilitation. A 30-year-old female was presented with absence of the lower fornix in anopthalmic socket. A stock conformer was used to create continuous downward pressure with the help of an acrylic rod, gauze and a medical adhesive tape. Eventually, a lower fornix was created and finally rehabilitated with ocular prosthesis.
