[Historical aspects of eye prosthetics].

The article is devoted to the problems of eye prosthetics that develops since ancient times till today. Indications for eye prosthesis and its role in rehabilitation of anophthalmic patients are determined. The process of glass prostheses production is described in details, technology is discussed and illustrated. This article is of great interest for opthalmologists and prosthetic technicians as it is proved that glass prostheses are more physiologic and have a number of advantages compared to plasticones.

[A Roman orbital implant?]. / Römisches Orbitaimplantat?

During an excavation in Regensburg/Germany the skeleton of an approximately 20-year-old Roman man was found who was buried in the 3rd/4th century after Christ. A "stone" was found which fitted into the left orbit precisely. After a thorough investigation of the "stone" and with the ophthalmohistorical literature in mind an orbital "implant" as well as a petrified medical paste ("Kollyrium") could be ruled out almost with certainty. Possibly the "stone" served another medical purpose or was used for protection of the eye.

A short history of contemporary oculoplastic surgery (and the need for RCTs): excerpts from the Mustardé lecture 2011.

A short review of some contemporary developments in oculoplastic surgery (OPS), in particular of lacimal surgery, of orbital implants and of Graves' orbitopathy, discloses the influence of different sorts of research and underlines (according to the author) the need for (more) randomized clinical trials in nowadays OPS.

Origen y desarrollo de la cirugía del desprendimiento de retina con implantes esclerales y su introducción en Cuba / Origin and development of retina detachment surgery with scleral implants and its introduction in Cuba

Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica con el objetivo de conocer los orígenes del tratamiento quirúrgico del desprendimiento regmatógeno de retina, el desarrollo de la técnica quirúrgica mediante implantes esclerales y su introducción en Cuba, así como su utilización hasta nuestros días. Son abordados tópicos como la creación del primer servicio de retina en el Hospital Ramón Pando Ferrer, la visita de Charles Schepens a La Habana y la labor de importantes profesores vinculados al desarrollo de la especialidad en Cuba. Se consultó una bibliografía que abarca un período de varios años hasta el presente para conocer los resultados de la utilización de esta técnica quirúrgica en la actualidad y demostrar, de esa forma, su vigencia

A bibliographic review was conducted to know the origins of the surgical treatment of the retina regmatogen detachment, the development of the surgical technique using scleral transplantations, as well as its introduction in Cuba and its use until nowadays. Subjects like the creation of our first Retina Service, the visit of Charles Schepens to La Habana and the work of important professors linked with development of the specialty in Cuba were approached. The bibliography covering a period of some years until now was looked up to know the results of the use of such surgical technique in present time and to demonstrate its validity

Perspective on orbital enucleation implants.

The philosophy and design of orbital enucleation implants have evolved significantly over the past 50 years. Animal studies and improved imaging techniques have changed our understanding about the physiology and anatomy of the post-enucleation orbit. Changes in implant design and biomaterials have reduced complication rates. It is our impression that for many ophthalmic professionals in training, the rational behind the current thinking in implant design and biomaterials is unclear. This is in part related to the older literature on orbital enucleation implants, which is scattered and at times contradictory. This review aims to present the historical information in a coherent and concise form; provide evidence based review of changes in the practice patterns of enucleation; identify areas of continuing controversy; and highlight gaps in the scientific literature about orbital implants, in particular, the poor understanding of implant and prosthesis motility.
