Anophthalmic socket may be congenital or acquired. Absence of an eyeball leads to major changes in physiology and dynamics of the orbit, compromising the aesthetics. A socket presents several challenges to an Oculoplastic surgery – often leading to reluctance to tackle the often insurmountable looking problem. Socket problem may include eyelid laxity, entropion, ectropion, ptosis, symblepharon, atrophy of the orbital fat, and fornix contraction. Successful reconstruction may require orbital volume replacement along with a stable fornix of adequate depth. The purpose of the course is to give practical tips for prevention, effective evaluation and decision making for the condition. Course will highlight the management of congenital and acquired anophthalmia .It will deal with debatable aspects including implant size, material and wrapping techniques. Recent advancement in management of contracted socket and associated abnormalities will be discussed with illustrations and videos.
