Enucelation (eye removal)
Enucelation is the surgical removal of the eyeball.
Enucelation is the surgical removal of the eyeball. It is a last-resort treatment for very serious eye diseases or injuries, after all other alternatives have been carefully considered. Modern surgical techniques allow precise disfigurement and maximum comfort to the patient. After the eyeball is removed, the eyelids are sutured permanently closed.
