Purpose:
|
To compare the results of lacrimal drainage system (LDS) tests between acquired anophthalmic socket (AS) and normal eyes of the same subjects.
|
|
Methods:
|
Included were acquired anophthalmic socket (2013-2014) of more than 6 years of age. Excluded were eyelid/ lacrimal drainage system (LDS) surgery, abnormality of eyelid/ LDS and contracted socket of any severity. Eyelid examination, and dye disappearance test (DDT) were performed by a masked observer. Irrigation test and interpretation of lacrimal scintigraphy were performed by another masked observer. LDS obstruction (LDSO) was defined as partial and complete obstruction of any part of LDS.
|
|
Results:
|
Included were 50 patients with a mean age of 31.3 years and mean time of wearing artificial eye of 96.1 months. Lagophthalmos was observed in 40 (80%) and lower eyelid laxity in 23 (46%) of AS and none of normal eyes. AS side showed significantly (P<0.001) more positive DDT, LDSO on scintigraphy, and LDSO on irrigation than the normal side. AS with lower eyelid laxity showed a significantly (0.01) more positive DDT (100% vs. 22.2%). No other variables had significant impact.
|
|
Conclusion:
|
Subjects with acquired anophthalmic socket are suffering from a significantly more than normal rate of both anatomical and physiological obstruction of LDS.
