Enucleation is performed only when preservation of the eye is impossible or medically inappropriate. Unlike evisceration, enucleation removes the entire eyeball. The procedure requires detailed discussion of indications, consequences, and future rehabilitation.
What it addresses / benefits
- treatment of severe irreversible eye disease
- use in selected intraocular tumors
- relief of pain in certain cases
- possibility of orbital rehabilitation
- planning for ocular prosthetic rehabilitation.
Preparation
The indication is confirmed after complete diagnostic assessment. The consequences of surgery, orbital implant options, and future prosthetic rehabilitation are discussed beforehand.
How the procedure is performed
The eyeball is surgically separated from surrounding tissues and removed. An orbital implant may be placed when clinically appropriate.
Result / recovery
Vision in the removed eye cannot be restored. Orbital and cosmetic rehabilitation follows after healing.

A cataract is clouding of the eye’s natural lens. When vision is significantly affected, the main treatment is surgical replacement of the cloudy lens with an artificial IOL.
