Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Plastic Surgery
Biomaterials Science

Background:

Enucleation or evisceration results in the loss of a sensory organ and significant aesthetic defect.
This loss causes considerable patient anxiety and necessitates reconstructive solutions for prosthesis fitting.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe and compare various reconstruction techniques for anophthalmic sockets.
To guide the selection of appropriate methods based on patient needs and expectations.

Main Methods:

Review of established surgical techniques for anophthalmic socket reconstruction.
Evaluation of implant materials including dermis-fat grafts, Guthoff artificial implants, and methyl methacrylate implants.

Main Results:

Dermis-fat grafts offer excellent biocompatibility.
Guthoff artificial implants may provide improved ocular motility.
Methyl methacrylate implants are placed within the muscle cone.

Conclusions:

The optimal anophthalmic socket reconstruction technique is patient-specific.
Consideration of individual needs, expectations, time, and cost is crucial for successful outcomes.
