Summary
Orbital exenteration causes significant distress. Magnet-retained orbital prostheses offer superior reconstruction compared to older methods, improving patient well-being.
Area of Science:
- Maxillofacial surgery
- Ophthalmology
- Biomedical engineering
Background:
- Orbital exenteration, the removal of the eye and surrounding tissues, leads to profound physical, psychological, and social challenges.
- Current prosthetic options like adhesive or spectacle-retained devices have limitations in restoring function and aesthetics.
