Presentation Transcript
Evisceration Evisceration
Step 1 The eye is exposed using the eye speculum and the limbal- or fornix-based flap is dissected to expose the sclera using Strabismus scissors.
Step 2 A scleral incision is made with an electroscalpel 3 4 mm posterior to the limbus of about 160
Step 3 The contents of the globe are removed with an evisceration spatula or a lens loop, which includes the iris, ciliary body, lens, vitreous, and retina.
In most cases, implantation of Intraocular/Intrascleral prosthesis is performed after evisceration for a cosmetic effect of the eye
Step 4 The appropriate size silicone (prosthesis) sphere is introduced with a sphere inserter or by everting the scleral incision edges with forceps.
Step 5 The two layer closure consists of apposition of the scleral and the bulbar conjunctival wounds with simple interrupted absorbable sutures.
