Abstract

INTRODUCTION- bleeding anterior staphyloma is a cause of painful blind eye and requires destructive procedures. In recent times cosmesis is given prime importance with prosthesis. CASE PRESENTATION- A 15-year-old female patient came to us with injury to the left eye with the gate of her house leading to painful left eye. Her vision was light perception positive in the right eye and no light perception in the left eye. On examination she had microcornea with leukomatous corneal opacity in the right eye with bleeding anterior staphyloma in the left eye. She underwent evisceration and had a silicon implant with a conformer in her left eye all of which were uneventful. CONCLUSION- Here is a case of a girl whose parents were reluctant to do any cosmetic correction to the girl child. a trivial trauma made the eye painful which needed eviscration and subsequent silicon implant application which created a tremendous cosmetic change in the patient.
