Based on a broad clinical material (more than 1,000 patients over 10 years), the efficiency of different variants of the eyeball bandage operations on patients with posttraumatic eye subatrophy was proved. The «Alloplant» biomaterials used in these surgeries create a solid frame of the sclera preventing further shrinkage of the eye; give natural color to the sclera; conceal the scar deformation of the sclera; restore the correct shape of the eyeball. In case of the second and third stages of subatrophy, the operations of front and back bandage, and in case of an eyeball shrinkage – voluminous bandage allow increasing the eyeball up to optimal for futher application of a thin-walled prostheses stipulating better functional and cosmetic result of the prosthetics.

Key words: posttraumatic subatrophy, eyeball bandage, prosthetics, cosmetic rehabilitation.
