Case Report

Followup of a Dog with an Intraocular Silicone Prosthesis Combined with an Extraocular Glass Prosthesis

Table 1

Overview of selected options to restore anatomical structure after exenteration, enucleation, or evisceration [8, 10, 11]. Depending on the procedure and the selected prosthesis, a second prosthesis or an “artificial eye” can be placed between the first prosthesis and the eyelids. Porous implants like hydroxyapatite can be combined with a coupling or peg system, to give the second implant better motility [8, 10].
