Evisceration – removal of the iris, lens, and internal eye contents, but with the sclera and attached extraocular muscles left behind; Enucleation of the eye – removal of the eyeball, but with the eyelids and adjacent structures of the eye socket remaining. An intraocular tumor excision requires an enucleation, not an evisceration.
An evisceration is the removal of the eye's contents, leaving the scleral shell intact. Usually performed to reduce pain in a blind eye. [38] An exenteration is the removal of the entire orbital contents, including the eye, extraocular muscles, fat, and connective tissues; usually for malignant orbital tumors. [39]
An evisceration is the removal of the eye's contents, leaving the scleral shell and extraocular muscles intact. [1] [2] The procedure is usually performed to reduce pain or improve cosmesis in a blind eye, as in cases of endophthalmitis unresponsive to antibiotics. [1] [2] An ocular prosthetic can be fitted over the eviscerated eye in order to ...

An ocular prosthesis, artificial eye or glass eye is a type of craniofacial prosthesis that replaces an absent natural eye following an enucleation, evisceration, or orbital exenteration. Someone with an ocular prosthesis is altogether blind on the affected side and has monocular (one sided) vision.
An evisceration is the removal of the eye's contents, leaving the scleral shell intact. Usually performed to reduce pain in a blind eye. [13] An exenteration is the removal of the entire orbital contents, including the eye, extraocular muscles, fat, and connective tissues; usually for malignant orbital tumors. [14]
There is concern, however, that evisceration may lead to a higher incidence of SO compared to enucleation. [3] Several retrospective studies involving over 3,000 eviscerations, however, have failed to identify a single case of SO. Once SO is developed, immunosuppressive therapy is the mainstay of treatment. When initiated promptly following ...
Enucleation (surgery), the removal of a mass without cutting into or dissecting it Enucleation of the eye, removal of the eye that leaves the eye muscles and remaining orbital contents intact Self-enucleation, self-inflicted removal of the eye; Enucleation (microbiology), removing the nucleus of a cell and replacing it with a different nucleus
