Abstract

The appearance of cosmetic deformities of the orbit can be improved by eye glasses. The optical methods can improve the final outcome after orbital or facial reconstructive surgery. These methods are not widely known among ophthalmologists and plastic and reconstructive surgeons. Four typical patients are presented. Two patients had vertical displacement of one globe, one patient had microphthalmus and one patient buphthalmus. The appearance of the cosmetic deformities improved by finding eye glasses with prismatic, hyperopic or myopic glasses. Patients with vertical displacement of one globe, microphthalmus or enophthalmus, and buphthalmus may benefit if proper eye glasses are fitted in front of an amblyopic or blind eye.
