Enucleation Surgery for Pets in Plano, TX
At Animal Eye Specialists in Plano, Texas, we perform enucleation—surgical removal of the eye—when it’s the best option to relieve pain, prevent disease spread, or address severe trauma. While the decision to remove an eye is never easy, it can significantly improve your pet’s quality of life in the right circumstances.
When Is Enucleation Necessary?
Enucleation is typically recommended for pets with painful glaucoma, untreatable infections, severe eye trauma, tumors, or a blind, non-functional eye that causes discomfort. Our team carefully evaluates each case and explores all options before recommending surgery.
What to Expect from the Procedure
Enucleation is performed under general anesthesia, and most pets recover quickly. Post-operative care includes pain management, antibiotics, and follow-up visits to ensure proper healing. Pets typically adapt well to life with one eye and return to their normal routines with minimal difficulty.
