ABSTRACT:
A porous structure for implantation into the orbital cavity of a mammal who has had an ocular enucleation, evisceration or who needs to have an orbital implant replaced, the structure comprising pores having a mean size of less than 200 micrometers. Also disclosed is a surgical method for placing an implant into a mammal who has had an ocular enucleation, evisceration or who needs implant replacement, whereby the implant obtains rapid ingrowth of connective and vascular tissues. The method comprises: selecting a porous ocular implant comprising pores with a mean size of less than 200 micrometers; and, placing the implant into an orbital cavity of a mammal.
