Understanding Eye Removal Surgery

Eye removal surgery, also known as enucleation, is a medical procedure performed to remove a damaged or diseased eye.

Our skilled surgeons at Foley James D MD have extensive experience in performing enucleation procedures and ensuring optimal outcomes for our patients.

Reasons for Eye Removal Surgery

There are various reasons why individuals may consider eye removal surgery:

  • Severe Eye Injury: Enucleation may be necessary to remove a severely damaged eye due to trauma or accident.
  • Malignant Tumors: In cases of eye cancer, enucleation can be performed to remove the affected eye and prevent the spread of cancerous cells.
  • End-Stage Eye Diseases: Certain eye diseases, such as painful and untreatable glaucoma or end-stage retinopathy, may require removal of the eye for pain management and improved quality of life.
