EYE HEALTH: THE RECONSTRUCTION OF ‘eyes after a trauma, glaucoma or tumor THE EYES

The cause of the loss of ‘eye can be a trauma, a tumor or a disease. The consequence is the removal of ‘eye, a highly invasive damage that leads not only to the permanent loss of vision, but also to aesthetic problems and social relationship.
Often those who have had trauma or diseases such as cancer, glaucoma or severe infections’ s eye, endured numerous surgeries aimed at functional recovery of vision. In some cases, however, the ‘eye loses all its function, it creates pain and becomes atrophic, small and colorless. The patient begins to wear dark glasses, loses its security aspect and stuffed with drops and pain medication. At this stage, the view is lost permanently, but you can eliminate pain and restore a look, and with it a social life as normal as possible.
If the view can not be recovered, all ‘appearance there is a remedy: the reconstruction of’ eye. This is a surgical procedure is complex but not impossible.
L ‘OPERATION FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF’ EYE

L ’surgery recommended in these cases is the’ evisceration of the eye: the wall ’s eye and the muscles are attached are kept intact, but remove all that all’ internal ’s eye is not working and is causing the pain. The coating is then filled with a scleral endo-prosthesis to keep intact the volume occupied by the ‘eye in order to maintain non-anatomical relationships of the’ orbit and eyelids. The aesthetic prosthesis, so he calls the ‘artificial eye, is now a very thin shell that lies between the eyelids and also enjoys a sufficient movement, is made by hand in special resins, based on the color of the’ other eye. For the reconstruction of ‘eye, now the apple is drawn on the size of the’ good eye, and even the smallest nuances of color are copied. Often in the eye in primary position, i.e directly in the center, do not recognize the ‘operated eye only after a closer look.
Removing the ‘eye is an extreme action, in which patients often are submitted after years of suffering deep pain-related physical and psychological trauma related to continuous and’ altered appearance of ‘eye patient. Who loses an eye must already face a significant deficit from a functional standpoint. Eliminate pain and restore a blind eye to ‘normal appearance is already a milestone: a few weeks after the’ surgery patients feel no more pain and are happy with their image in the mirror.
