Hello, the right eyeball of a five-year-old child is atrophied. Will the facial muscles collapse if not removed?

Hello! I am a technician from Minrui Eyes. The following suggestions are for your reference:

If the child's eyes are only atrophied and blind, and there are no other conditions that require eyeball removal, then there is no need to perform eyeball removal surgery. However, it is recommended that you wear prosthetic eye lenses for your child as soon as possible to support the development of orbital bones.

We have met many patients who have been born with congenital microphthalmos since childhood. However, due to lack of awareness in this regard, they have never worn prosthetic eye lenses. When the children become adults, the bones around the affected eyes have not been supported and developed. sluggish. Half of the face is big and half is small. At this time, it is very difficult to have our customized eye lenses improve your appearance.

So you said that if you have to wait until you grow up before having your eyeballs removed (followed by the implantation of a prosthetic eye table and the installation of prosthetic eye lenses), if you don’t wear the prosthetic eye lenses, your face will definitely shrink and deform during this period. .

Parents must pay attention!

The above, I hope it can help you!
