Enucleation is the surgical removal of the entire eyeball while preserving the eyelids, eye socket, and the muscles that move the eye. It is performed when an eye cannot be saved — most commonly due to eye cancer (such as uveal melanoma in adults or retinoblastoma in children), severe trauma, a chronically painful blind eye, or overwhelming infection. During the operation, the eye muscles are detached and carefully preserved, the optic nerve is cut, and the globe is removed. An orbital implant is placed in the socket to restore volume and support natural movement, and the muscles are reattached around it. A few weeks after healing, a custom-painted acrylic prosthesis is fitted over the implant, typically producing a natural-looking result that most people around the patient do not notice.
Estimated cost: ~$300 – $500
Typical tests for this treatment: MRI or CT scan of the orbit and brain (staging / surgical planning), Slit lamp and fundus examination of both eyes, B-scan ultrasonography of the affected eye, CBC (complete blood count), Blood sugar (fasting and post-prandial) or HbA1c, ECG (for patients above 40 or with cardiac history), Chest X-ray (pre-anaesthesia clearance). Done in India before hospital admission. Cost varies with case complexity.
