Eye Enucleation: What You Need to Know
Eye enucleation is a surgical procedure where all or part of the eyeball is removed. It is typically performed as a last resort for severe eye diseases or injuries.
 
Reasons for Eye Enucleation
There are various reasons for performing eye enucleation, including:
 
Eye tumors: Malignant eye tumors that do not respond to other treatments may require enucleation.
Severe injuries: Severe eye injuries that cause irreparable damage may require enucleation.
Severe eye infections: Eye infections that do not respond to antibiotic treatment may require enucleation.
Severe and chronic eye pain: In some cases, severe and chronic eye pain that does not respond to other treatments may require enucleation.
Advanced eye diseases: Some advanced eye diseases such as advanced glaucoma may require enucleation.
 
Types of Eye Enucleation
There are three main types of eye enucleation:
 
Evisceration: In this procedure, the contents inside the eyeball are removed, but the surrounding tissues remain intact.
Enucleation: In this procedure, the entire eyeball is removed from the eye socket, but the surrounding muscles remain.
Exenteration: In this procedure, in addition to the entire eyeball, the surrounding muscles and other tissues are also removed.
 
Stages of Eye Enucleation Surgery
Eye enucleation surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia. The stages of this procedure include:
 
Making an incision around the eyelid
Separating the muscles and tissues attached to the eye
Removing the eyeball or its contents
Placing an implant in the eye socket to maintain the shape of the eye
Closing the incision
After Eye Enucleation Surgery
After surgery, an artificial eye is placed in the eye socket to maintain a natural appearance. Modern artificial eyes look very natural and can mimic eyelid movements.
 
Post-operative Care
After eye enucleation surgery, the patient requires special care, including:
 
Taking medications prescribed by the doctor
Keeping the surgical site clean
Regular follow-up visits with the doctor to monitor the eye
Life After Eye Enucleation
Eye enucleation can be a very difficult experience, but with the support of family and friends and appropriate medical care, many people can return to a normal life. Modern artificial eyes help people maintain a natural appearance and regain their self-confidence.

Glaucoma: Early Detection, Lifelong Vision
World Glaucoma Week

Glaucoma: Early Detection, Lifelong Vision

The primary cause of glaucoma is increased pressure inside the eye. This pressure, known as intraocular pressure, damages the optic nerve. One of the most insidious aspects of glaucoma is that it often progresses without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Early detection is crucial in managing glaucoma. While there is no cure for glaucoma, early detection and treatment can significantly slow down or even stop the progression of the disease. Regular eye exams are essential, especially for those at higher risk. Farabi Hospital's ophthalmology department is renowned for delivering cutting-edge treatments and unparalleled care to patients with glaucoma.
