TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 163. Globe Luxation Reduction A1 - Reichman, Eric F. PY - 2013 T2 - Emergency Medicine Procedures, 2e AB - Luxation of the globe is a rare event whereby the eyelids slip behind the midcoronal plane of the eye in an extremely proptosed eyeball (Figure 163-1). The orbicularis oculi muscle then goes into spasm, which maintains the luxation of the globe. Extraocular eye movements become severely limited. The optic nerve and retinal vasculature are subjected to an abnormal amount of traction, resulting in possible damage to these structures or the retina.1 The end result is partial or full blindness in the affected eye if it is not reduced before irreversible ischemic changes occur.
