enucleation is a surgery to remove the entire eyeball (globe) from the eye socket. It is most commonly used in severe eye disease, major trauma, or certain eye cancers. The eyelids and surrounding skin are not removed in enucleation. After healing, many people use an ocular prosthesis (artificial eye) for appearance.
