Evisceration is a surgical procedure in which the eyeball is completely removed. This procedure is often required in cases of serious infections, tumors or other serious diseases within the eye. During evisceration, the eyeball is removed and other tissues inside the eye socket are cleaned. This is usually done while preserving the outer shell of the eye (sclera) and a prosthetic eye is usually implanted after the operation.
