Disease category: T85.318: Breakdown (mechanical) of other ocular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts
Breakdown (mechanical) of other ocular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts, initial encounter
When it comes to ocular prosthetic devices, implants, and grafts, breakdowns can occur due to mechanical reasons. This can happen during the initial encounter, which is the first time the patient is fitted with the device. Understanding the potential causes of breakdowns can help patients and doctors prevent them from happening.
- Improper Fitting: One of the most common reasons for breakdowns is improper fitting. If the device is not properly fitted to the patient's eye, it can cause discomfort, irritation, and even damage to the eye. This can lead to the breakdown of the device and the need for a replacement.
- Material Failure: Another potential cause of breakdown is material failure. Ocular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts are made from a variety of materials, including silicone, acrylic, and hydrogel. If the material used in the device is not of good quality or is not suitable for the patient's eye, it can lead to the breakdown of the device.
- Wear and Tear: Like any other device, ocular prosthetic devices, implants, and grafts can wear out over time. This can happen due to normal wear and tear or due to the patient's lifestyle. For example, if the patient engages in activities that put a lot of strain on the device, such as contact sports, it can lead to breakdowns.
- Infection: In some cases, breakdowns can occur due to infection. If the device is not properly cleaned and maintained, it can become infected, leading to damage and breakdowns. It's important for patients to follow their doctor's instructions for cleaning and maintaining their device to prevent infections.
In conclusion, breakdowns of ocular prosthetic devices, implants, and grafts can occur for a variety of reasons. Patients and doctors can prevent these breakdowns by ensuring proper fitting, using high-quality materials, reducing wear and tear, and maintaining the device to prevent infection. By taking these steps, patients can enjoy the benefits of their prosthetic device, implant, or graft for years to come.
