[The use of latex expanders for the formation of a conjunctival space in anophthalmos].
Methods for conjunctival cavity plasty in anophthalmia and their advantages and drawbacks are discussed. The known methods do not always bring about satisfactory results (ensure a stable position of the prosthesis in the cavity). A method for conjunctival cavity formation with latex expanders is proposed. Original designs of expanders for the conjunctival cavity were used. The method is interesting and promising for conjunctival cavity plasty in anophthalmia when the cavity is shrunk.
