Where is enucleation done?

Both surgeries are usually performed in the operating room under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. After enucleation or evisceration, most of the lost volume is replaced by a spherically shaped implant or fatty tissue from the patient's own body placed in the eye socket.

Can a doctor remove your eye?

There are a variety of reasons that an eye may be removed. Some of the most common indications include trauma, cancer (such as retinoblastoma or ocular melanoma), end stage eye disease (such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, or after multiple eye surgeries), or an otherwise degenerated blind and/or painful eye.
