Extra-conjunctival Implants.

چکیده
To the Editorial Committee of the BRITISH JOURNAL OF OPHTHALMOLOGY SIRS-The technique described by Nairac (1954) is ingenious, but founded upon a doubtful principle. Most authorities on orbital implants (movable ocular prostheses) agree that, to stand a chance of being retained for more than 5 years, an implant must be completely enclosed in both Tenon's capsule and the conjunctiva (Choyce, 1954; RoperHall, 1954). The union described by Nairac between tantalum and naked muscle, not covered by Tenon's capsule and conjunctiva, is very likely to fail after 1 to 2 years at the most. The author makes no reference to numbers of cases or to the length of time which has elapsed since operation. If he is able to indicate that a substantial proportion of his implants are still in situ 5 years after the operation, I shall be the first to congratulate him, but I do not believe he will find himself able to demonstrate such a degree of success. In my opinion, by adopting this technique, he has rendered his patients a disservice, because the opportunity has been missed of inserting a completely buried implant at the time of enucleation. Yours faithfully, D. P. CHOYCE. 33, WIMPOLE STREET, LONDON, W. 1. July 16, 1954.

SIRS-Mr. Choyce has had the kindness to read my article. I would have appreciated his criticism all the more had he read it more carefully. His choice of the word " disservice" is unfortunate and unjustified. This is a new departure in the technique of implants, with a minimum of foreign material buried under conjunctiva, in an attempt at preventing sepsis and extrusion. My list of thirteen cas...
