The removal of an eye may be required to control pain in a poorly seeing eye, following a devastating injury or to treat tumors or cancers inside the eye itself. This surgery may also be performed if there is an untreatable infection inside the eye, or for cosmetic improvement of an unsightly eye. There are several state of the art techniques available to patients to help achieve the necessary outcome. Multiple options will be discussed with all our patients during their consultation and careful attention will be applied to help them be at ease with their decision.
