Prosthetic Eye Post Enucleation Evisceration Eye Surgery in Mumbai, India - Dr. Debraj Shome
- 9 years ago
A new, best, technique of enucleation called myoconjunctival enucleation surgery, leads to exceptional ocular prosthesis (prosthestic eye) motility, following eye removal surgery. Given the motility this imparts the false, prosthetic eye, the ocular prosthesis fitting post myoconjunctival enucleation surgery is the best treatment for cosmetic rehabilitation post eye removal surgery.
Enucleation eye surgery is performed post intra-ocular tumors (eye cancer), like retinoblastoma and malignant melanoma of the choroid. In cases with a large, blind eye (as in an anterior staphyloma formed post eye injury), an evisceration surgery of the eye can be performed instead. In an evisceration, the sclera (white portion) of the diseased eye is left behind, with the attachment of the ocular muscles - This ensures very good motility of the prosthesis. Prosthesis fitting is also performed post exenteration surgery, in which the eye as well as the ocular adnexa (tissues surrounding eyes, including eyelids), are completely removed.

In an eye with no visual potential, it may make sense to remove the eye (via enucleation, evisceration, eye removal surgery), insert a silicone / acrylic ball implant surgically (to replace the volume of the removed eye) and instead fit in an artificial, custom made ocular prosthesis (false eye).
In this video, the patient Ms. Surti, is a 25 year old woman, living in Mumbai, India. Ms. Surti had an eye injury at the age of five (5), with a stick, which made her eye smaller and she lost vision completely (phthisis bulbi). This incident made her under-confident and she could just not carry on with a normal life. Though vision (sight) can never be restored in her right eye (the affected eye), Ms. Surti can definitely look normal and lead a normal life. No one else ever needs to know that she does not have one eye & that one eye is an ocular prosthesis (prosthetic eye). Ms. Surti was treated by Dr. Debraj Shome, one of the top/ best oculoplastic surgeons & facial plastic surgeons in the world. Dr. Debraj Shome is currently based in Mumbai, India. Dr. Shome specializes in oculoplastic surgery, socket surgery, plastic & reconstructive surgery of the eyes & face, enucleation, evisceration, exenteration, eye removal surgery & cosmetic ocular prosthesis (prosthetic eye) rehabilitation post the same.

Ms. Surti underwent a myoconjunctival enucleation surgery, with silicone ball implantation, followed by a custom made artificial eye (ocular prosthesis) fitting. Her right eye now looks cosmetically exactly like her normal, left eye. Just look at the movement of the artificial, prostheic eye. This surgery has restored Ms. Surti's confidence and she has subsequently gone on to lead a completely normal personal and professional life.
