Cryolite glass prosthetic eyes—The response of the anophthalmic socket
Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology Aug 25, 2019
Rokohl AC, Adler W, Koch KR, et al. - Researchers sought to examine mucoid discharge and the inflammatory response of anophthalmic sockets to cryolite glass prosthetic eyewear. Using visual analog scales (0–10), a total of 101 cryolite glass prosthetic eye wearers measures their mean mucoid discharge characteristics (0–10 scale) associated with their prosthesis vis frequency 5.3 ± 2.8, color 4.8 ± 3.2, volume 4.9 ± 3.0, and viscosity 5.1 ± 3.2. Outcomes revealed more conjunctival inflammation, higher cleaning frequency, and less hand washing before handling in positive correlation with discharge severity associated with prosthetic eyewear. Results do not support the daily removal of cryolite glass eyes for cleaning.
