Abstract
To secure a better cosmetic effect Mules after evisceration implanted a glass globe in the scleral cavity. Frost and Lang placed the glass ball in Tenon's capsule after enucleation. Since then gold, silver, celluloid, sponge, peat, rubber, wire, paraffin, fat, bone and cartilage have been used. A brief outline is given of the use of these substances and the disadvantages attaching to each of them. For a similar purpose in general plastic surgery ivory has been used. A case is reported in which it was implanted in Tenon's capsule and appeared satisfactorily to meet the requirements of the use.
