Abstract

Orbital development is associated with the growth of the eyeball. During the development period, congenital or acquired changes of volume of the eyes and radiation treatment in ocular region influence the development of the orbit. Abnormal development of the orbit influences craniomaxillofacial growth and person's overall aesthetics of the face afterwards. Reconstruction of contracted sockets and shrunken orbits poses significant difficulties and obstacles that often results in universal frustration and disappointment results. Various methods have been used to improve these abnormalities. There are substantial different opinions regarding which method offers the best outcome. Traditional methods involve using progressively enlarging conformers, static spherical orbital implants, demis-fat grafts, and inflatable balloon expanders for orbital enlargement. Recently, the self-expander hydrogel tissue expander is available that expanders our option. This article reviews the influence of ocular abnormalities on the development of the orbit, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of various treatments for promoting the development of the orbit.
