Summary
Fabricating orbital prostheses is challenging. An alternative method, creating prostheses with the eye closed, proved quicker, less complex, and improved patient confidence and reintegration.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Maxillofacial Surgery
- Prosthodontics
Background:
- Orbital prostheses are complex to fabricate, requiring significant skill to reconstruct missing tissues like the globe, muscles, skin, and bone.
- Achieving a natural appearance and function that matches the contralateral eye is difficult due to the eye's expressiveness and mobility.

01:28Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment
1.7K
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...

01:27Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment
1.1K
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
