Intraocular Prostheses

The enucleation of an eye is always a traumatic experience, perhaps more so for the owners of our patients than for the animals themselves. In performing the surgery, part of our responsibility is to create as good a postsurgical appearance as possible. Cosmetics ARE important. Most enucleations performed on horses, dogs and cats are done using the transpalpebral technique. To be esthetically successful, this method requires the placement of some type of orbital implant. Otherwise, a marked indentation or dimpling will occur. VOS has developed a line of silicone implants. A conforming equine model is available for intraorbital use only. Because of the unique configuration of the equine orbit, this implant is superior to simple round models. The small animal implants are all spheres and are available in 12 sizes. Their dark color makes them suitable for either intraorbital implantation following an enucleation or intrascleral implantation following the evisceration of the globe. (image not to scale)

Silicone Implants for Small Animals

•Suitable for both intrascleral and intraorbital use. •Lightweight and easily sterilized by autoclaving.

•Dark brown or black, with glossy finish.

Carter Sphere Introducer

(image not to scale) The Carter sphere introducer was described by Brightman, et. al. in the 1977 article in the J.A.A.H.A. titled Intraocular Prosthesis in the Dog. This procedure remains popular with many veterinary ophthalmologists today. This stainless steel intrument simplifies holding silicone balls and implanting them within the sclera.
