Orbital enucleation implants have advanced over 50 years, improving outcomes. This review clarifies implant design and biomaterial evolution for ophthalmic professionals, addressing knowledge gaps.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Biomaterials Science
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Orbital enucleation implant design and biomaterials have evolved over five decades.
  • Animal studies and advanced imaging have refined understanding of the post-enucleation orbit's physiology and anatomy.
  • Improvements in implant design and biomaterials have led to reduced complication rates.

Observation:

  • Ophthalmic professionals in training often lack clarity on the rationale behind current orbital implant design and biomaterial choices.
  • Existing literature on orbital enucleation implants is fragmented and sometimes contradictory.
  • A comprehensive review is needed to consolidate historical information and current evidence.

Findings:

  • This review synthesizes historical data on orbital enucleation implants.
