ICROPHTHALMIA has been reported in a number of rat colonies M (JONES 1925; KING 1931; HAIN 1936; BROWMAN 1941, 1943; QUISSENBERRY and BROWN 1942 ; CAMPBELL 1944). Published reports indicate that not only the embryological development but also the final eye condition may be quite varied in the several colonies (see BROWMAN and RAMSEY 1943 and CAMPBELL 1944). The mode of inheritance of this chara...

A STUDY Of. t66 literature reveals that not many examples of anophth-almia have been subjected to microscopical examination, and that only a few of these are -of recent date.The investigation of a particular case-itself of sbme special interest-suggests that the nature of anophthalmia and the interpretation of previous observations are worthy of further-d-iscussion in the light of modern views ...

BACKGROUND/AIM Children with congenital microphthalmos are usually able to wear an eye prosthesis but the cosmetic aspect is determined by the size of the orbital volume deficiency. Instead of using a ball shaped standard hydrogel expander or a regular orbital implant, which would necessitate enucleation of the microphthalmic eye, this study investigates the feasibility of volume augmentation w...
