“…Wearing prosthetic eyes is not only conducive to restoration of the child's appearance but can also effectively increase the patient's quality of life. 24 This study showed that the ocular prosthesis satisfaction of pediatric patients was associated with the parents' marital status, employment status, and annual family income. Other relevant studies on pediatric diseases have confirmed that the influences of socio-economic factors on the quality of life of pediatric patients were statistically significant.…”

Objective: To study the quality of life of Chinese pediatric patients with retinoblastoma (RB) after enucleation and the influencing factors.Methods: A questionnaire survey was performed on 71 cases of pediatric patients with RB after enucleation and 80 cases of healthy children, using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 Generic Core Scales (PedsQL TM 4.0). Results:The social dimension scores, school dimension scores, and total scores for the PedsQL TM 4.0 among the pediatric patients with RB were statistically significantly lower than those of healthy children. The influencing factors were unilateral/bilateral affected eyes, diagnosis age, and ocular prosthesis satisfaction. Conclusion:Early discovery, timely treatment, increased eye salvage rate, and cosmetic effects of ocular prosthesis were key factors for increasing the quality of life of pediatric patients with RB.Attention should be paid to the health, social, and school development of pediatric patients with RB.

PurposeEnucleation is a common treatment modality performed for pediatric retinoblastoma patients, and the resultant defects are reconstructed using an ocular prosthesis. The prostheses are modified or replaced periodically, as the child develops due to orbital growth and patient‐error. The purpose of this report is to evaluate the replacement frequency of prostheses in the pediatric oncologic population.MethodsA retrospective review was completed by the two senior research investigators, of patients that had ocular prostheses fabricated following enucleation of their retinoblastoma from 2005 to 2019 (n = 90). Data collected from the medical records of the patient included the pathology, date of surgery, date of prosthesis delivery, and the replacement schedule of the ocular prosthesis.ResultsDuring the 15‐year study period, 78 enucleated observations (ocular prosthesis fabricated) were included for analysis. The median age of the patients at the time of delivery of their first ocular prosthesis was calculated to be 2.6 years (range 0.3–18 years). The median time to the first modification of the prosthesis was calculated to be 6 months. The time to modification of the ocular prosthesis was further stratified by age.ConclusionPediatric patients require modification of their ocular prostheses throughout their growth and development period. Ocular prostheses are reliable prostheses with predictable outcomes. This data is helpful to set an expectation among the patient, parent, and provider.
