This book describes how to thoroughly evaluate patients to determine the most appropriate procedure, taking into account both the medical and emotional condition of the patient. The expert contributing authors also share their experience in how to avoid post-surgical complications.

The second part focuses on long-term management, providing information important to general ophthalmologists and optometrists responsible for treating patients after enucleation, evisceration, or exenteration of the eye.This book describes how to thoroughly evaluate patients to determine the most appropriate procedure, taking into account both the medical and emotional condition of the patient.
