    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Ocularistry
    • Biomaterials

    Background:

    • Superior sulcus deformity is a common complication following evisceration or enucleation.
    • Existing prosthetic adaptations were satisfactory in 5000 anophthalmic patients studied.
    • The frequency and management of this deformity require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the frequency of superior sulcus deformity in anophthalmic patients.
    • To discuss and compare silicone oil infiltration and a modified polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) banana superior sulcus implant for camouflage.
    • To assess the efficacy and permanence of these interventions.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 5000 anophthalmic patient cases.
    • Observation of superior sulcus deformity occurrence.
    • Discussion of surgical techniques involving silicone oil infiltration and PMMA implants.

    Main Results:

    • The study identified the frequency of superior sulcus deformity.
    • Silicone oil infiltration was found to be easily performed.
    • The modified PMMA banana superior sulcus implant was also considered.

    Conclusions:

    • Silicone oil infiltration offers a straightforward and permanent solution for superior sulcus deformity.
    • Further evaluation of the modified PMMA implant is warranted.
    • Effective camouflage techniques are crucial for anophthalmic patient outcomes.
