Enucleation surgery is the removal of the entire eyeball while preserving the eyelids and surrounding tissues. It is performed when the eye is severely damaged, painful, or affected by serious conditions like eye cancer or infections. This procedure helps relieve pain, prevent complications, and protect overall health when other treatments are no longer effective or suitable.
Enucleation surgery has two main types. Standard Enucleation involves removing the eyeball while leaving the optic nerve intact. Modified Enucleation is performed when the disease has spread beyond the eye, requiring removal of additional surrounding tissues. The choice depends on the underlying condition and helps ensure complete removal of the disease for better long-term health outcomes.
The need for Enucleation surgery is diagnosed through detailed eye examinations, imaging tests such as CT scans or MRIs, and a review of the patient’s medical history. Doctors recommend this procedure when the eye is beyond repair due to trauma, disease, or tumor, and when other treatments have failed to relieve symptoms or preserve vision and eye health.
Enucleation surgery is considered when a person experiences persistent eye pain, complete loss of vision, or severe injury to the eye. It is also necessary in cases of eye cancers like retinoblastoma or melanoma. A painful blind eye that no longer serves visual function is another common reason, especially when it affects overall comfort or health.
Enucleation surgery is often required due to serious conditions like eye cancer, severe trauma, advanced glaucoma, or uncontrollable infections. Treatment includes the precise surgical removal of the eyeball while preserving surrounding tissues. Post-surgery care involves proper healing, fitting of an artificial eye (prosthesis), and providing emotional and psychological support to help patients adjust and recover fully.
Seek prompt medical advice if you experience the following symptoms related to severe eye damage or disease.
Continuous sharp or throbbing pain despite treatment may suggest a deeper issue requiring medical intervention.
Sudden, irreversible blindness in one eye can be a red flag for severe underlying conditions.
Eye protrusion with discomfort may signal tumors or infections requiring urgent evaluation.
Repeated infections that don’t respond to treatment can damage eye tissue and require surgical consideration.
Deformed eye structure or appearance post-trauma may require evaluation for possible removal and reconstruction.
