Does the type of implant impact the quality of the artificial eye?
No. The quality of the artificial eye is independent of the type of implant , and depends on the skills of the ocularist. 5. How much motility can an enucleated patient expect? Motility after enucleation is better with an implant than without. Typically the range of movement with an implant expressed as a % of normal ie compared to the other eye is 30% upgaze, 50% side to side, and 70% downgaze. 6. I was told peg-implants are inappropriate for Rb survivors as they can mask recurrences. Is this true? And if many years down the road your risk of recurrence gets really low, can you change your implant into a peg implant for better motility? No, peg implants can be used for Rb. It is possible to differentiate between recurrent Rb and the imaging features of a pegged implant. Implant exchange is not an easy procedure, and carries risks. It is best avoided, especially with buried integrated implants that get enmeshed in surrounding tissues. Non-integrated implants are easier to remove and co
