Rehabilitation of Ocular Tissue Disorders Post Surgery by Prosthetic Eye Wearers and the Risk for Microbial Infection.
Background: Caring for patients with a prosthetic eye as hardware after partial or complete surgical removal of the eye can be a challenge to clinicians. Regardless of the circumstances leading to eye removal, inspection of the underlying tissue should be included in a comprehensive eye exam. Aims:...

Regardless of the circumstances leading to eye removal, inspection of the underlying tissue should be included in a comprehensive eye exam. Aims: The present study reports on the mircoorganisms found on prosthetic eye. Methods: Eye prosthetic scrapings and swabs were collected from the prosthetic eye wearers in Ramadi City, Iraq. A total of 45 samples were obtained from male and female subjects ranging in age from 5 to 60 years. Pure cultures of the microorganisms isolated from the swabs were obtained by culturing them in their significant media and microorganisms recognized by different types of biochemical tests. Results: The common isolates were Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aspergillus and Candida albicans. From the 45 samples, Staphylococcus aureus, bacilli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were more commonly isolated followed by Aspergillus and Candida albicans. Conclusion: Specialists in maxillofacial prosthetics and ophthalmologists should be aware of the inherent diversity of microbial colonization and infections associated with the placement of ocular prostheses. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
