title: [Clinical application of silica ball implant enclosed by an autologous reversal sclera in patients with enucleation].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the effects of improved silica ball implantation enclosed by autologous reversal sclera.
  
  
  METHODS
  After the enucleation of eye balls, we reversed, cleared the autologous sclera, enclosed the silica ball and implanted it in the operative eye.
  
  
  RESULTS
  30 cases with enucleation were implanted the prosthetic eyes. The follow-up period was 6 months to 3 years. The prosthetic eyes had the motility of 10 degrees to 25 degrees and the empty socket syndrome was effectively prevented.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The sargical method can overcome the defect that prosthetic eyes cannot rotate after being implanted and has got satisfactory cosmetic effects.
