Structural and biomechanical properties and trace elements composition of the corneoscleral eye shell in normal tension glaucoma

The results of comparative studies of the structural and biomechanical features of the corneoscleral eye shell in various clinical forms of glaucoma are presented. The article discusses how the systemic and local imbalance of trace elements that regulate collagen biosynthesis, the formation of cross-links in the connective tissue structures of the sclera, and the hydrodynamics of the intraocular fluid, affect the intraocular pressure level, and thereby the character of the development of glaucomatous lesions in normal tension glaucoma. Modern literature is shown to indicate the prospects for further research in this direction.

Custom Made Acrylic Resin Ocular Prosthesis Using a Modified Technique: A Preliminary Report

The loss of one eye may be due to a congenital defect, pathology or trauma requiring the surgical removal of eyeball. This causes significant physical and emotional disturbance to the patient. Psychological distress can be reduced by timely replacement with an artificial eye. This preliminary report describes the fabrication of the custom made acrylic resin ocular prosthesis (CMAROP) with a modified technique where a stock eye shell has been used to fabricate a custom ocular impression tray. Try in was done on the same day. The CMAROP achieves intimate contact with the tissue bed and creates functional and esthetically pleasing results.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jucms.v2i4.12068Journal of Universal College of Medical Sciences (2014) Vol.02 No.04 Issue 08Page: 41-44

A Simplified Technique for Fabrication and Characterization of a Custom Ocular Prosthesis using Light-cured Stains

ABSTRACT An ocular prosthesis which gives attention to the accurate duplication of natural color, contour, size and ocular orientation will provide realism and symmetry for patients who need it. This article describes a simplified technique of converting a stock eye shell into a well-fitting custom ocular prosthesis that requires minimal clinical procedures and simplified laboratory procedures. The color matching of the sclera of the prosthesis was performed using light-cured resin-based stains that are simple to use and give a more predictable and lifelike appearance when compared to the conventional acrylic ‘paint on’ technique.
