Chemical and thermal lesions in the orbital region.
In severe chemical and thermal burns the surroundings of the globe are frequently affected. Longstanding inflammatory reactions and severe scar formation around the globe are consequences from such damage. Lids, tarsi, conjunctival and subconjunctival tissues down to the fornices and the anterior orbit are destroyed. Beside medical therapy various operations are necessary to restore an environment for the globe to allow its survival.
