  • Title: [Experiences with the intraocular silicon prosthesis as an alternative to enucleation in dogs and cats].
    Author: Lettow E.
    Journal: Tierarztl Prax; 1987; 15(2):205-11. PubMed ID: 3617046.
    Abstract:
    The intraocular implantation of a silicone prosthesis fulfills all important requirements to be used in dogs and cats. Given the appropriate indication including glaucoma in the first place, this method should be preferred to enucleation. The operation procedure is described and clinical observations in 14 dogs and 6 cats are reported. All animals tolerated the implant well and appeared to be pain-free. The cosmetic results depended on the correct size of the implant and on the nature of the corneal response. Final evaluation of the cosmetic effect was only possible one year or even more after operation.
