Background
- Extreme proptosis which permits lids to slip behind globe equator, obicularis oculi spasm sustains luxation
- Can be traumatic or spontaneous
- Early reduction indicated to relieve symptoms and minimize visual impairment
Indications
- Globe luxation
Contraindications
- Globe rupture (relative)
Procedure
- Perform rapid eye exam including visual acuity
- If traumatic, consider imaging to r/o orbital deformity, retrobulbar hemorrhage, etc
- Place pt in recumbent position
- Apply topical ocular anesthetic (e.g. tetracaine)
- When lashes are visible, have asst apply steady upward and outward traction to lids. If unable to grasp lashes, use lid retractor to apply countertraction
- With gloved fingers, gently apply scleral pressure and manipulate back into orbit
- Assess for and remove retained lashes to prevent corneal injury
- Repeat eye exam (acuity may not improve for days or longer)
Complications
- Retained lashes
- Failure to reduce (apply saline drops and non-contact eye shield)
After Care
- Traumatic luxation requires emergent ophthalmology consult
- Spontaneous luxation with no visual impairment → f/u in 24-48 hours, avoid triggering maneuvers
