  • Title: Use of sclera and liquid collagen in the camouflage of superior sulcus deformities.
    Author: Smith B, Lisman RD.
    Journal: Ophthalmology; 1983 Mar; 90(3):230-5. PubMed ID: 6866445.
    Abstract:
    The cosmetic deformities following enucleation are often unavoidable. Loss of orbital volume and atrophy of orbital fat create significant enophthalmos. The literature is filled with numerous procedures that add to the orbital volume of the anophthalmic socket. An outline of three procedures to the upper eyelid to camouflage an enophthalmic appearance are presented. These can be used alone or in conjunction with an "orbital volume increasing" procedure. Two procedures can be used in an office setting to alleviate small deformities; 19 patients have been treated in this manner with a follow-up period of up to 26 months.
