An orbital enucleation implant is made out of porous material, such as porous polyethylene. The implant is shaped to have a conical posterior projection to provide for additional volume augmentation and a superior projection to fill out and prevent any superior sulcus deformity. A cavity or holes are provided in the superior projection to provide a site for attachment of the superior rectus muscle. A flange or lip is provided extending between the lateral sides of the implant around the inferior surface of the implant to provide a site for attachment of extraocular muscles.

An orbital enucleation implant for replacing a volume of an eyeball in an anophthalmic eye socket of an eye comprising a body of biocompatible material, said body being shaped to have a generally elongated body defining a posterior conical projection extending along an axis and shaped to parallel bony orbital contours of a posterior portion of the eye socket and, an anterior surface shaped, sized and positioned to be coupled to an ocular prosthesis which will extend under and be overlapped by upper and lower eyelids of the eye when open, a superior projection on said body posterior to said ocular prosthesis extending on an axis arranged at approximately 90 degrees to the axis of said posterior projection, said superior projection sized, shaped and positioned to engage and support a levator muscle of the upper eyelid and prevent a superior sulcus deformity behind the upper eyelid.
