title: Subperiosteal volume augmentation of the anophthalmic socket with RTV silastic.
abstract: Patients who have worn an ocular prosthesis for many years often develop laxity of the lower eyelid and deepening of the superior sulcus caused by downward displacement of the orbital contents. Herein we describe our technique and results with the lateral canthal sling and subperiosteal room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silastic volume augmentation procedure performed through a single incision in the lateral canthus.
