REHABILITATION AFTER SURVIVING OCULAR ONCOLOGY. LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

New drugs and methods of early diagnosis of malignant tumors of the visual organ have appeared in the last decades. Nevertheless, the problem of untimely diagnosis and treatment of these diseases remains in practical ophthalmology, which leads to more radical and less organ-preserving methods of treatment and, as a consequence, to the deterioration of cosmetic and functional results in subsequent eye prosthetics.Aim. To analyze and discuss the literature on the following topics: ocular prosthetics and ophthalmic oncology using available databases.Material and methods. Optimization of domestic and foreign scientific papers using eLibrary, PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar databases.Results. The 52 most relevant sources of domestic and foreign literature were analyzed.Conclusions. Having analyzed the literature data in domestic and foreign sources, we can conclude that the world medical community has not fully disclosed the issue of eye prosthetics in patients after oncological treatment. More research and practical recommendations are needed in this area. The use of a staggered prosthetic method, as well as the shape of the eye prosthesis, taking into account the individual characteristics of the conjunctival cavity, will help to achieve the best results.
