Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox medical intervention An evisceration is the removal of the eye's contents, leaving the scleral shell and extraocular muscles intact.[1][2] The procedure is usually performed to reduce pain or improve cosmesis in a blind eye, as in cases of endophthalmitis unresponsive to antibiotics.[1][2] An ocular prosthetic can be fitted over the eviscerated eye in order to improve cosmesis.[3]

Either general or local anesthetics may be used during eviscerations, with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory agents injected intravenously.[4]
