In 1948, ophthalmologists started implanting plastic spheres partially covered with tantalum mesh (eg, the Valley Forge Implant) in anophthalmic sockets. Numerous patients have developed complications ten to 15 years after surgery: pain ("pinching" or "deep"), headache, heavy mucopurulent discharge and diffuse conjunctival inflammation, migration of the implant, thinning or erosion of tissues covering the implant (extrusion), and inability to wear an artificial eye. Management includes refabrication of the artificial eye and replacement of the implant with a dermis-fat graft or a silicone ball plus scleral graft. Tantalum-mesh--covered orbital implants should probably not be used.
1948年，眼科医生开始在无眼球眼窝中植入部分覆盖钽网的塑料球（如福吉谷植入物）。许多患者在手术后10至15年出现了并发症：疼痛（“刺痛”或“深部疼痛”）、头痛、大量黏液脓性分泌物和弥漫性结膜炎症、植入物移位、覆盖植入物的组织变薄或侵蚀（挤出）以及无法佩戴义眼。处理方法包括重新制作义眼，并用真皮脂肪移植物或硅胶球加巩膜移植物替换植入物。可能不应使用覆盖钽网的眼眶植入物。
