Foldable Capsular Vitreous Body implant for post-traumatic Phthisical Eye: A Case Report

Abstract

Abstract

Purpose: To analyze the outcomes of foldable capsular vitreous body injected in a post-traumatic phthysical eye.

Case presentation: A 19 year old male patient presented to ophthalmology department with left post-traumatic phthisical eye , who had previously undergone corneoscleral tear repair due to a penetrating trauma to his left eye one year back. On ocular examination , there is a corneo scleral scar mark, aniridia , aphakia and retina incarcerated in the scar. He was injected with a foldable capuslar vitreous body.

Conclusion: Our case report of foldable capsular vitreous body gives an excellent cosmesis for the physical eye.
