Abstract EN
Because of unpredictable corneal changes, evisceration and implantation of a silicone prosthesis does not always lead to a satisfying cosmetic result.
This paper describes the use of an intraocular silicone prosthesis in combination with an extraocular glass prosthesis and shows a followup of two and a half years in a nonexperimental study.
An intraocular silicone prosthesis was implanted after evisceration of the left eye in a five-month-old Bernese mountain dog.
A glass prosthesis was fitted four weeks after evisceration.
Two and a half years after the operation, the dog is in good health and free of medication.
No short-term or long-term complications were seen.
The owners do not have trouble with handling the glass prosthesis.
The combination of both prostheses shows a perfect solution to retrieve a normal looking and moving eye after evisceration.
