This initial report indicates that Alphasphere can be successfully used in the management of an anophthalmic socket. The advantages of the Alphasphere implant include: it does not require tissue wrapping, extraocular muscles can be directly sutured to the implant, it maintains a smooth surface to limit risk of exposure due to conjunctival breakdown, and undergoes anterior orbital fibrovascular ingrowth which optimizes prosthesis location and socket motility.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
