title: [Role of primary and stepwise prosthetic replacement in the rehabilitation of subjects with anophthalmos].
abstract: The study covered 1980 patients with anophthalmos and a cosmetically poor blind eye, who were followed up in the ocular prosthesis room, Helmgoltz Institute of Eye Diseases. The optimal periods of primary and stepwise prosthetic replacement are defined and standard ocular prostheses of the most appropriate shape and size are recommended depending on the specific features of the conjunctival cavity and stump in this period. Recommendations are given on the application of ocular prostheses in congenital pathology and subatrophy.
