What's the diagnosis?

This guide is intended to provide education about eye removal to patients and families who are considering or undergoing eye removal surgery. For many, the idea of removing an eye can be understandably very daunting. However, it is important to know that eye removal is a relatively common surgery that can treat certain eye diseases, alleviate eye pain, and greatly improve the patient's quality of life.

It is our hope that this guide will help patients and their families better understand the different procedures used to remove the eye, how to best prepare for the surgery, and what to expect during the healing process. http://bit.ly/2AqeN0t

In these devices, the tube must be occluded for several weeks to allow a capsule to form around the plate (thereby avoiding hypotony). Fenestrations may be placed anterior to the ligature suture to allow early flow until the...
