Enucleation, or surgical removal of the eye, is performed when a pet experiences severe trauma, glaucoma, infection, or untreatable pain. At Animal Surgical Care of PA, we approach every enucleation with compassion, focusing on comfort, safety, and long-term well-being.
During the procedure, the affected eye is carefully removed, and the surrounding tissue is sutured closed for a clean, comfortable appearance. Pain management is a top priority throughout the process.
Our team provides clear aftercare instructions, including medications, activity restrictions, and follow-up visits to monitor healing. Most pets recover quickly and adapt well to single-eye vision or complete blindness.
While the decision to remove an eye is never easy, this surgery often brings profound relief and restored quality of life.
Animal Surgical Care of PA provides compassionate enucleation services for pets across Pennsylvania—helping families make confident, caring decisions for their loved companions.
