peg implant after enucleation

0 Recommendations

Hello group. I am looking for information regarding the peg implant after enucleation surgery. In May, I had enucleation surgery. I am contemplating the peg implant. I have some movement with my prosthesis, but maybe want more. My ocularist says that over 90% of her patients/clients do not get the peg. I know there is a higher risk of infection with the peg? Anyone have any good or bad experiences? Talk to me.

Marie

p.s. Does insurance cover it?

Enucleation is the complete removal of the eye. A peg is sometimes implanted to allow extra movement for the prosthetic eye. Marie
