Abstract
- Phthisis bulbi, resulting from repeated ocular inflammation and infection or ocular trauma, causes various degeneration of ocular tissue as well as changes in ocular external shape. It shows the impression of scleral thickening with calcification of ocular tissue and an unusual ossification as well. Having observed 31-year-old patients of phthisis bulbi and band keratopathy caused by repeated operation after ocular trauma years ago, we extracted the tan brown colored shell-like firm tissue in posterior segment and report sclerotic impression of some of ocular tissue and histopathologic finding of the typical ossificationof ocular tissue during the course evisceration.
