Eye Conformers as Socket Expanders for Congenital Microphthalmia and Anophthalmia

A conformer is a clear acrylic shell fitted to an anophthalmic socket or in the case of a microphthalmia socket before fitting an ocular prosthesis. It helps in the formation of fornices and helps expand the socket. In the case of congenital contracted sockets, we need to change conformer size every six weeks to two months for size to expand the socket gradually. It is also used after an enucleation an evisceration of the eyeball over the implant inside the socket to hold the shape of the eye socket and allow the eyelids to blink over the shell without rubbing the suture line. The conformer shell holds the shape ready for the artificial eye.
