Multipurpose Conical Orbital Implant in Evisceration
Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Vol. 21, No. 5, pp 376–378 ©2005 The American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Inc. Multipurpose Conical Orbital Implant in Evisceration Harry Marshak, M.D., and Steven C. Dresner, M.D. Doheny Eye Institute, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the porous polyethylene multipurpose conical orbital implant for use in evisceration. Methods: A retrospective review of 31 eyes that underwent evisceration and received the multipurpose conical orbital implant. The orbits were evaluated at 1 week, 1 month, and 6 months after final prosthetic fitting for implant exposure, superior sulcus deformity, and prosthetic motility. Results: There were no cases of extrusion, migration, or infection. All patients had a good cosmetic result after final prosthetic fitting. Prosthetic motility was good in all patients. Exposure developed in one eye (3%) and a superior sulcus deformity developed in one eye (3%). Conclusions: Placement of an multipurpose conical orbital implant in conjunction with evisceration is a safe and effective treatment for blind painful eye that achieves good motility and a good cosmetic result. visceration has proved to be effective for the treat- forms anteriorly to the sclera to be closed over it, without Ement of blind painful eye from phthisis bulbi or crowding the fornices, and extends posteriorly through endophthalmitis.

Treatment of Congenital Ptosis
13 Review Article Page 1 of 13 Treatment of congenital ptosis Vladimir Kratky1,2^ 1Department of Ophthalmology, Queen’s University, Kingston, Canada; 21st Medical Faculty, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic Correspondence to: Vladimir Kratky, BSc, MD, FRCSC, DABO. Associate Professor of Ophthalmology, Director of Ophthalmic Plastic and Orbital Surgery, Oculoplastics Fellowship Director, Queen’s University, Kingston, Canada; 1st Medical Faculty, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic. Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Congenital ptosis is an abnormally low position of the upper eyelid, with respect to the visual axis in the primary gaze. It can be present at birth or manifest itself during the first year of life and can be bilateral or unilateral. Additionally, it may be an isolated finding or part of a constellation of signs of a specific syndrome or systemic associations. Depending on how much it interferes with the visual axis, it may be considered as a functional or a cosmetic condition. In childhood, functional ptosis can lead to deprivation amblyopia and astigmatism and needs to be treated. However, even mild ptosis with normal vision can lead to psychosocial problems and correction is also advised, albeit on a less urgent basis. Although, patching and glasses can be prescribed to treat the amblyopia, the mainstay of management is surgical. There are several types of surgical procedure available depending on the severity and etiology of the droopy eyelid. The first part of this paper will review the different categories of congenital ptosis, including more common associated syndromes. The latter part will briefly cover the different surgical approaches, with emphasis on how to choose the correct condition. -

Surgical Anatomy of the Upper Eyelid Relating to Upper Blepharoplasty Or Blepharoptosis Surgery
Review Article http://dx.doi.org/10.5115/acb.2013.46.2.93 pISSN 2093-3665 eISSN 2093-3673 Surgical anatomy of the upper eyelid relating to upper blepharoplasty or blepharoptosis surgery Kun Hwang Department of Plastic Surgery and Center for Advanced Medical Education by BK21 Project, Inha University School of Medicine, Incheon, Korea Abstract: Eyelid anatomy, including thickness measurements, was examined in numerous age groups. The thickest part of the upper eyelid is just below the eyebrow (1.127±238 μm), and the thinnest near the ciliary margin (320±49 μm). The thickness of skin at 7 mm above the eyelashes was 860±305 μm. The results revealed no significant differences among the age groups. Fast fibers (87.8±3.7%) occupied a significantly larger portion of the orbicularis oculi muscle (OOM) than nonfast fibers (12.2±3.7%). The frontalis muscle passed through and was inserted into the bundles of the OOM on the superior border of the eyebrow at the middle and medial portions of the upper eyelid. Laterally, the frontalis muscle inserted about 0.5 cm below the superior border of the eyebrow. Fast fibers occupied a significantly larger portion of the OOM than did non-fast fibers. The oculomotor nerve ends that extend forward to the distal third of the levator muscle are exposed and vulnerable to local anesthetics and may be numbed during blepharoplasty. The orbital septum consists of 2 layers. The outer layer of loose connective tissue descends to interdigitate with the levator aponeurosis and disperses inferiorly. The inner layer follows the outer layer, then reflects and continues posteriorly with the levator sheath. -
Changes in Ocular Rigidityin Endocrine Exophthalmos

WEEKERS AND G. LAVERGNE From the Ophthalmological Clinic, Lie'ge University Two types of endocrine exophthalmos are frequently distinguished, being referred to thyrotoxic or hyperthyroid exophthalmos, and thyrotropic, ophthahnoplegic, or oedematous exophthalmos. (a) Hyperthyroid or Thyrotoxic Exophthalmos.-This accompanies Graves's disease and is, therefore, much more frequently seen in females than in males. In the majority of cases the exophthalmos is quite unobtrusive or there is merely an appearance of exophthalmos due to retraction of the upper lid. It is associated with a decreased frequency of blinking and a fixed stare. The majority of authors agree that these symptoms should be attributed to an increase in tone of the sym- pathetic system. The importance of the pituitary thyrotropic hormone in thiscopyright. clinical picture is not clear. Hyperthyroid exophthalmos is not complicated either by chemosis or by diplopia, but heterophoria and lack of convergence are often seen. (b) Thyrotropic, Ophthalmoplegic, or Oedematous Exophthalmos.-This may occur either in a subject suffering from verified and treated hyperthyroidism, when the signs of thyrotoxicosis are about to disappear, or in an apparently normal subject free from any thyroid symptom or history of symptoms. The second type http://bjo.bmj.com/ is more frequently seen in males than in females. Thyrotropic exophthalmos is often very marked'and may even lead to irreducible lagophthalmos; it is invariably associated with a disturbance of ocular movements, particularly with elevation of the gaze. -

It is primarily intended to help non-ophthalmic ICU staff to: 1. protect the eye in vulnerable patients, thus preventing ICU-related eye problems 2. identify disease affecting the eye in ITU patients, and specifically those which might need ophthalmic referral 3. deliver treatment to the eye when it is prescribed It concentrates primarily on the common problems of the eye surface but also touches on other less common conditions. As such, it should also be helpful to those ophthalmologists asked for advice about ICU patients. -

HURBLl Paris Summary Congenital malformations of the eye and its adnexa which are multiple and varied can affect the whole eyeball or any part of it, as well as the orbit, eyelids, lacrimal ducts, extra-ocular muscles and conjunctiva.
