Abstract
PURPOSE To study the use of ultra-thick human amniotic membrane for management anophthalmic socket contracture. METHODS A prospective study done at King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Thirty-six patients (45 eyelids) were involved. Contracted socket caused by trauma, previous surgery or radiotherapy, delay in use of prosthesis, Congenital Anophthalmia/Microphthalmia, and Anophthalmia secondary to Enucleation/Evisceration were included in the study. RESULTS Thirty-three patients (42 eyelids) underwent fornix reconstruction with cryopreserved ultra-thick human amniotic membrane. Mean ± SD age at surgery was (40.90 ± 17.32) years. Mean follow up was 10.5 months. Grade II fornix contracture was the most common type in 23 (54.8%) eyelids. The most common involved primary diagnosis was Anophthalmia secondary to Enucleation/Evisceration (n = 13). The incidence of pyogenic granuloma (PG) after surgery was seen in 8 eyelids (19.0%). CONCLUSION Anophthalmic contracted socket secondary to significant history of multiple PG excision (> 5 times) and secondary to enucleation/evisceration were associated with good surgical outcome. Cryopreserved ultra-thick human amniotic membrane is an ideal material for the management of anophthalmic socket contracture.

Wu KY, Fujioka JK, Daigle P, Tran SD. The Use of Functional Biomaterials in Aesthetic and Functional Restoration in Orbital Surgery. J Funct Biomater 2024; 15:33. [PMID: 38391886 PMCID: PMC10889948 DOI: 10.3390/jfb15020033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2023] [Revised: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
The integration of functional biomaterials in oculoplastic and orbital surgery is a pivotal area where material science and clinical practice converge. This review, encompassing primary research from 2015 to 2023, delves into the use of biomaterials in two key areas: the reconstruction of orbital floor fractures and the development of implants and prostheses for anophthalmic sockets post-eye removal. The discussion begins with an analysis of orbital floor injuries, including their pathophysiology and treatment modalities. It is noted that titanium mesh remains the gold standard for orbital floor repair due to its effectiveness. The review then examines the array of materials used for orbital implants and prostheses, highlighting the dependence on surgeon preference and experience, as there are currently no definitive guidelines. While recent innovations in biomaterials show promise, the review underscores the need for more clinical data before these new materials can be widely adopted in clinical settings. The review advocates for an interdisciplinary approach in orbital surgery, emphasizing patient-centered care and the potential of biomaterials to significantly enhance patient outcomes.

Management of external ocular prosthesis by ocularists: results of an online survey conducted in Brazil and Spain. Int Ophthalmol 2023; 43:4297-4304. [PMID: 37574470 DOI: 10.1007/s10792-023-02841-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2022] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/15/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To analyse the ocularist's perspective on the management of the anophthalmic socket and external ocular prosthesis (EOP). METHODS Ocularists from two countries were invited to participate in an online questionnaire. Data were collected on demographics, anophthalmic socket and EOP management (manufacturing, use, cleaning), complications, follow-up visits and multidisciplinary care. The frequency and proportions of the responses were statistically analysed. RESULTS The questionnaire was addressed to 20 Brazilian and 17 Spanish ocularists, obtaining a response rate of 65% and 64.7%, respectively. 62.5% of respondents were men. The most common cause of anophthalmia in Brazil (69.2%) and Spain (36.4%) is an eye disease (chi square: p = 0.188). Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is the most commonly used material in EOP manufacture (chi square: p = 0.448), and 70.8% reported using customized EOPs (chi square: p = 0.069). Deposits are frequently observed in both countries (chi square: p = 0.157). Changing the prosthesis is recommended after 5 to 10 years by Brazilian ocularists, and after less than 5 years of use by Spanish ocularists (81.8%) (chi square: p = 0.041). Annual follow-up is recommended by Spanish ocularists (45.5%), while semestral (38.5%) and case-dependent (38.5%) follow-up is recommended by Brazilian ocularists (chi square: p = 0.267). Daily cleaning is advocated by 61.5% of Brazilian ocularists and once a month by 45.5% of Spanish ocularists (chi square: p = 0.098), with 75% of ocularists from both countries not recommending EOP removal at night (Fisher´s exact test: p = 0.166). Good communication between ocularists and ophthalmologists was reported by 87.5% of our responders (chi square: p = 0.642). CONCLUSION Although there are no unified protocols on the management of EOPs, Brazilian and Spanish ocularists follow similar guidelines. Differences between countries were the patients´ referral and the prosthesis´ useful life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS To evaluate treatment with custom, three-dimensional (3D) printed conformers for socket expansion in congenital microphthalmia and anophthalmia (MICA). METHODS Retrospective analysis of prospective cohort from 2016 to 2020. All children received custom-made 3D-printed conformers increasing in size. We measured height, width, thickness, surface and volume of first and consecutive conformers, as well as horizontal palpebral fissure length (HPF) at start and follow-up visits. We analysed these parameters for severely (<45%) and moderately (>45%-75%) affected children, based on affected axial length on ultrasonography. RESULTS We included 18 cases (9 severe, 9 moderate) with a total of 174 conformers (88 severe, 86 moderate) and a mean follow-up of 2.8 years (range 1.3-4.8). The mean relative HPF increased from 77% to 93% with 16/17 cases reaching >80%, and 12/17 cases >90% symmetry. Horizontal and vertical conformer dimensions increased up to 10 months of treatment, with a steeper slope for the severe group (10.5% vs 5.5% for height and 9.0% vs 6.1% for width gain per treatment month, for severe and moderate MICA, respectively). After 10 months of treatment conformer height and width increased only slightly. No serious complications were observed. CONCLUSION 3D-design and printing of solid conformers results in highly acceptable horizontal eyelid symmetry in the treatment of congenital MICA. The mean increase in conformer height and width in the first 10 months should be about 170% for moderate and about 200% for severe MICA. The presented conformer size formulas can aid ophthalmologists and ocularists to plan conformer treatment.

Abstract
Introduction A novel technique
of using a sandwich-like structure, namely, an oral mucosa graft (OMG)–conjunctiva in situ–dermis-fat graft (DFG) (OMG-C-DFG), to reconstruct a contracted and low-capacity anophthalmic socket for a patient with ocular infection history was evaluated. Methods This was retrospective case study of four patients (cases) who underwent anophthalmic socket reconstruction surgery in which the OMG-C-DFG technique was applied. The procedures were performed in the Department of Ophthalmology at the Ninth People’s Hospital, Shanghai JiaoTong University School of Medicine (Shanghai, China). Postoperative cosmetic appearance, graft outcome, the ability to wear an ocular prosthesis, and postoperative complications were evaluated. Results The median (± standard deviation) age of patients was 41.5 ± 22.1 (range 10–60) years. All patients suffered from contracted and low-capacity anophthalmic sockets. Three patients had a history of orbital implant infection and one patient had a history of enucleation due to exogenous endophthalmitis after globe rupture. The DFG and OMG were harvested from the abdominal region and lower lip, respectively. All four patients achieved a good postoperative appearance, with dermal surfaces appearing pink and smooth, the orbital areas showing good fullness, the ocular prosthesis showing good wearability, and no narrowing of the sockets. There was no lipid secretion, fat lysate outflow, or infection in the graft bed. There were only small amounts of scars and no infection of the donor site. Conclusion The sandwich-like structure can be effectively used to reconstruct the contracted and low-capacity anophthalmic socket with a history of orbital infection in one stage.
