Diagnosis: eviscerated OD with lucite ball implant with preservation of cornea

Image Comments:
This teenager's OD was eviscerated with retention of the cornea and all extraocular muscles. A lucite ball was implanted into the scleral sac.The postoperative course was totally uncomplicated. The motility was excellent. Because of a remote possibility of sympathetic ophthalmia, no additional cases were done. It must be emphasized that the cosmetic and functional results far exceeded those obtained through enucleation.
