High impact information on Eye, Artificial

We semiquantitated radioiodine secretion in the tears of a thyroid-ablated patient with an artificial eye while the patient was on thyroxine treatment [1].
Comparison of artificial eye amplitudes with acrylic and hydroxyapatite spherical enucleation implants [2].
METHODS: Two identical artificial eye chambers were constructed with circumferential indentations placed at the sphere's equator (mimicking an encircling band indentation), and filled with varying amounts of Silicone Oil 1000 centistrokes (Adato, Bausch and Lomb, UK) and balanced salt solution [3].
As a global reference, the point-spread function (PSF) of the artificial eye was recorded directly on a CCD camera and compared with simulated PSF's computed from the experimental aberration data [4].
The method has been applied to correct the third-order spherical aberration generated by an artificial eye as well as the coma produced by a progressive addition ophthalmic lens [5].

Associations of Eye, Artificial with chemical compounds

Other solutions for contact lens use were compared with Enuclene and found to be far superior by patients using an ocular prosthesis [6].
Orthodontic wire covered with silicone tubing is fused onto a conventional methyl-methacrylate ocular prosthesis [7].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Eye, Artificial

The coral derived hydroxyapatite sphere is a popular, integrated orbital implant designed to provide improved motility of the ocular prosthesis following enucleation [8].
