Abstract
BACKGROUND: One of the purposes of ocular prosthetics is to prevent the progression of pathological processes in the eyelids and conjunctiva of the anophthalmic socket.
AIM: The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of therapeutic eyelid hygiene products: “Blepharowipe”, “Blepharogel cleansing” (Geltek-Medica, Russia), used in the late postoperative and long-term rehabilitation periods, in patients with anophthalmia who lost the eyeball as a result of an injury.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: For the study, 3 main (50 patients) and 3 corresponding control groups (50 patients) were created. The examination of patients included: complaints, medical history; biomicroscopy of the eyelids, the conjunctiva of the anophthalmic socket, and the surface of the ocular prosthesis. In the main groups, therapeutic eyelid hygiene products were used for 8 weeks in combination with regular ocular prosthesis care. In the control groups, eyelid hygiene products were not used. Assessment and analysis of the effectiveness of the products was carried out after 1, 2 and 4 weeks in group I and after 4 and 8 weeks in groups II and III based on the dynamics of patient complaints and objective examination indicators.
RESULTS: In the main groups I and II, there was a positive dynamics: normalization of the state of the eyelids and the conjunctiva of the anophthalmic socket; increasing comfort of an ocular prosthesis wear. In the main group III and in all control groups, no significant positive dynamics was noted.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of using the products included in the course of therapeutic hygiene of the eyelids: “Blepharowipe”, “Blepharogel cleansing” showed high efficiency, and give reason to recommend them in late postoperative and long-term rehabilitation periods in patients with anophthalmia.
