Abstract:
Congenital and acquired microphthalmos or anophthalmos are common ocular disorders that cause facial disfigurement in children. It is important to have timely and reasonable treatment to promote orbital growth. At present status, many patients miss the optimum opportunity for orbital reconstruction because of non-standardized management in China. The correct management for promoting orbital growth in microphthalmos or anophthalmos is thus elaborated. Conformers with progressively increasing size can be used in children at 1-3 years of age; while orbital implants could be used after 3-5 years of age. Rational and regular evaluation of the efficacy is critical for guiding the treatment process.
