Small ILFBs not involving the visual axis could be managed conservatively until the progression of cataract, ocular inflammation, and signs of siderosis
bulbi in the metallic foreign bodies.
In another patient, hyphema and phthisis
bulbi were noted 3 years after the procedure when the patient returned for a follow-up visit, but not within the 3-month postoperative follow-up interval.
These individuals developed progressive Phthisis
bulbi (shrinkage of the eyeball),' says Muhammad Ansar, a researchers at the Department of Genetic Medicine and Development at UNIGE.
Schwannoma, Chronic Osteomyelitis, Benign Fibrous Histiocytoma, Eccrine Poroma, lobular hemangioma, Veruucus hyperplasia, Xan-thelasma, Mucocele, Phthisis
bulbi, Osteoma and Optic nerve glioma were seen in 1 (0.4%) cases in each.
Cat had one more muscle, retractor
bulbi muscle, which retracts the eyeball.
Evolution to phthisis
bulbi was evident, with clouding and folds in the cornea, shrinkage of the eyeball and a very soft tone, and six months later the eye was eviscerated.
Pseudoptosis can be simulated in a small globe due to injury or inflammation resulting in an abnormal shape, as in pthisis
bulbi or due to ipsilateral hypotropia.
Removal of silicon oil (ROSO) is a procedure that carries a definite risk of re detachment, cataract, glaucoma, vitreous haemorrhage, hypotony, corneal decompensation, phthisis
bulbi, decrease in endothelial cell density and macular changes5,6.
(9) 2.76% of patients had phthisis
bulbi. Visual acuity at presentation was found to be significantly associated with final visual prognosis corroborating the study by Esmaeli B et al.

bulbi.
Following disinfection by povidone iodine (Egis, Hungary) and rinsing with PBS of human
bulbi, corneal buttons were dissected using scissors.
This process of "threshold" retinopathy ultimately leads to subnormal anatomic and functional development: permanently underdeveloped retina, macular dragging, retinal detachment, neovascular glaucoma, blindness, and ultimately phthisis
bulbi [4].
