Abstract

55 cases of posterior subperiosteal glass bead implantation are presented. The technique and complications are described. This operation is our procedure of choice in anophthalmic enophthalmos with a supratarsal sulcus deformity and has become a standard procedure in the Oculo-Plastic and Reconstructive Department of the Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Ho3pital The operation has proved its usefulness in approximately 100 cases operated on in the last 7 years. The procedure is simple and relatively free of complications if performed according to the technique described.
