Evisceration is a radical operation used only in selected severe eye diseases or after major ocular damage. It differs fundamentally from enucleation because the outer scleral shell is retained. The decision to perform surgery is made only after complete medical assessment and discussion with the patient.
What it addresses / benefits
- treatment of severe irreversible eye conditions under strict indications
- relief of severe pain in selected cases
- preparation for subsequent orbital rehabilitation
- surgical management when visual function cannot be preserved
- individualized planning.
Preparation
The diagnosis and surgical indication are carefully confirmed by the ophthalmic surgeon. Alternatives, prognosis, future rehabilitation, and possible orbital implantation are discussed beforehand.
How the procedure is performed
Internal ocular contents are removed while preserving the sclera and surrounding orbital tissues. The exact surgical technique depends on the clinical situation.
Result / recovery
Postoperative treatment and rehabilitation are required. Vision in the operated eye cannot be restored.

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.
