  • Title: [How can artificial eye motility be improved? The influence of fornix configuration and tissue thickness in front of hydroxyapatite-silicon implants in 66 patients].
    Author: Klett A, Guthoff R.
    Journal: Ophthalmologe; 2003 Jun; 100(6):445-8. PubMed ID: 12820010.
    Abstract:
    Porous hydroxyapatite of various origins has proven to be a suitable material for orbital volume replacement. Its biocompatibility surpasses all other options. The transmitted motility to the artificial eye has nevertheless, not always been to the full satisfaction of patients, oculists and ophthalmologists. Our study has shown a strong correlation between the depth of the superior and interior fornices as well as the thickness of tissue material covering the implant anterior surface.
