Introduction

A long-lasting controversy has been ongoing whether blind and painful eyes should be surgically treated by evisceration or enucleation of the affected eye. The majority of authors reported better results after evisceration, especially better motility and a more cosmetically acceptable orbit with less superior sulcus deformation, fornix deficiency, orbital volume deficiency, and a lower rate of complications [1], [2], [3], [4]. According to Migliori [5] the results of more recent techniques of enucleation led to a minimalization of differences in outcome between these two approaches.
