This collaboration is essential for multiple reasons. Some of those are:
⇒ The creation of an even, right in dimensions socket in which the BioEye will be placed, following evisceration or exenteration.
⇒ Follow up for the possible remaining sutures which interfere with patient’s comfort.
⇒ The surgical preparation which a phthisic eye needs before the fitting of BioEye.
⇒ Providing conjunctival conformers for socket retainment.
⇒ The manufacture of custom conformers in cases of socket particularities or space issues.
⇒ The manufacture of custom conformers in cases of socket reconstruction to provide stability to the surgical outcome.
⇒ Eyelid surgery planning during BioEye fitting process or the appropriate prostheses modifications, facilitating surgery and improving the outcome.
⇒ Planning strategy of superior sulcus deformity, which sometimes is present in anophthalmic patients.
⇒ Surface and volume design of the BioEye for the normal eyelid function. Great importance when dry eye syndrome is present or malfunction of the relevant glands.
⇒ Check of the surface of BioEye and possible reconstruction when needed.
⇒ Ideal lubricating solution with the use of BioEye.
⇒ Check and common treatment (medication and BioEye modification) when alterations of conjunctival tissue occur, evident with appropriate stains.
