The Symblepharon rings are used to prevent retraction of the conjunctiva cul-de-sac. The ring is inserted between the eye and the lid and is supported by the sclera without touching the cornea. The purpose of the Symblepharon Rings is to avoid tissue adhesion after excision of the symblepharon. The ring has a center hole to enable the patient to see. The surfaces are polished in order to avoid any abrasion of the cornea or ocular globe. The Symblepharon Rings are medical devices made of acrylic (PMMA). They must not be autoclaved, otherwise they will be damaged: ethylene oxide sterilization is recommended.The devices' family has different sizes (small, medium, large).

Conformers (made of acrylic or PMMA) are single use devices. They are used to keep the form of the orbital cavity after enucleation or evisceration. In fact, a well chosen conformer enhances healing and prevents retraction of the cul-de-sac. It facilitates the fabrication and the retention of the ocular prosthesis. The conformer temporarily takes the place of the volume lost after enucleation or evisceration and keeps the lids in their natural position. It can be inserted in both eyes (left eye or right eye).The conformer is inserted behind the lids at the end of the surgery and stays in place until the next appointment with the ophthalmologist and/or the ocularist before an ocular prosthesis is made. This period of time varies for each patient and can range between one (1) to four (4) weeks. The conformer is never worn for more than 30 days continuously.

Acrylic and silicone spheres are permanent implants used to replace the lost volume and to give motility to the ocular prosthesis following an enucleation, evisceration or an insertion of a secondary implant (to replace an implant that was or has to be removed) in ophthalmology.These ocular implants are sold non sterile. They must be sterilized before usage. The users must gas sterilize (EtO) the acrylic spheres (not autoclave). The silicone spheres can be autoclaved (steam). The ophthalmic surgeon chooses the size and the type of implant for the surgery.
