Abstract

To discuss various techniques and principles of evisceration to restore volume and to prevent

enophthalmos with emphasis on Evisceration by Equatorial Sclerotomy Technique.

In this video, we demonstrate evisceration in a 39-year-old male with a painful blind eye

following trauma. We use the novel circumferential complete equatorial relaxing incision

technique in this patient to allow a larger implant with anterior placement and thus

preservation of orbital volume. It is a simple procedure that allows the placement of a stable

and an optimally sized implant following evisceration in the setting of atrophic bulbi or

phthisis bulbi.
