(1) Phthisical eyes of 2 patients revealed clinically unsuspected, partially necrotic and partially vital malignant melanomas of the uvea and extensive intraocular ossification.
(2) A white retrolental membrane is seen initially, later the eyes usually become phthisic.
(3) An abnormally small, shrunken choroidal blush can be seen with microphthalmia, extreme degrees of hyperopia, and in the phthisical eye.
(4) Implementing a DFG with the authors' method allows improvement in the enophthalmos concomitant with a phthisical globe.
(5) Twenty four per cent of hypotonous eyes and 4% of eyes with normal or elevated IOP became phthisical.
(6) In 3 eyes vision deteriorated to no light perception; 2 of them became phthisical.
(7) Exenteration of the phthisical eye and orbital contents showed an extensive pleomorphic adenocarcinoma of the nonpigmented epithelium of the ciliary body with extraocular extension.
(8) The two brothers of this patient both had phthisical left eyes, and those eyes were examined histopathologically.
(9) With the exclusion of one phthisical eye in each group final mean intraocular pressure in the ACTSEB group was 15.1 mm Hg, with a mean of 0.43 medications, and 14.4 mm Hg, with a mean of 0.95 medications, in the Molteno group.
(10) The majority of eyes in which the vitrectomy fluid was replaced with saline solution became phthisical.
(11) The right eye became blind and phthisical, and it was enucleated at the age of 42 years.
(12) Another case who had panophthalmitis prior to surgery became phthisic.
(13) Thirty (70%) of 43 eyes, which had follow-up of at least two months, became phthisical.
(14) It is suggested that a prolonged phthisical state of the eye is one condition wherein the mosaic pattern may become permanent and that, as a secondary event, this is followed by irregular calcification of Bowman's layer which particularly involves the ridges projecting into the epithelium.
(15) The end-stage ossification resulted in "phthisic bone" formation which completely filled the vitreous cavity in a manner very similar to the human condition of phthisis bulbi.
(16) These results suggest that the majority of severely-injured eyes become phthisical, but do not require removal for pain.
(17) This eye ultimately became phthisical and required enucleation because of chronic pain.
(18) The authors describe a new application using dermis-fat grafting either primarily or secondarily in conjunction with evisceration of selected phthisical globes.
(19) Three eyes eventually required enucleation for the relief of pain; one stabilized, and two others became phthisical.
(20) A hugh episcleral traumatic conjunctival inclusion cyst enveloping almost the whole eye, which appeared in the left phthisical eye of a young woman who sustained a perforating ocular injury a few years before enucleation, is described.
