Evisceration involves removal of the eyeball contents leaving the surrounding scleral tissue intact, whereas enucleation is a more extensive procedure that involves complete removal of the eye and not just its content. Both procedures are performed under general anesthesia. Evisceration is faster and simpler procedure giving better aesthetic results and also leads to better ocular motility. Enucleation is reserved nowadays only for cases of intraocular tumors, for example melanoma.<\/p>\n<p>Both procedures involve implantation of an acrylic ball that replaces the volume of the eye. The tissues are sutured over the implant and a temporary prosthesis is placed until a permanent one is fitted usually two to three months following surgery.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;1138&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h6>Penetrating corneal ulcer with iris prolapse, significant eye pain and phthisis in the left eye<\/h6>\n[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;1142&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h6>One week following left eye evisceration<\/h6>\n[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;1140&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h6>Excellent cosmesis following fitting of the permanent prosthesis<\/h6>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":940,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-583","page","type-page","status-publish"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
