Procedures Involved<\/h2>\n

Before a proper break down of the procedures involved, there is a need to know the two methods used in executing prosthetic surgeries. They are enucleation and evisceration.<\/p>\n

Enucleation, which is the complex form of prosthetic surgery involves the complete removal of the eyeball and is usually carried out on victims with a history of illness, trauma or malformation resulting in eye loss. Evisceration, on the other hand, is less severe and entails the removal of part of the eyeball excluding the white part \u2013 sclera. This is done in order to cover the porous implant present within the eye. Also, it boasts of a faster recovery pace than enucleation.<\/p>\n

Risks Involved & Associated Side Effects<\/h2>\n

In terms of prosthetic surgery, there are two major risks involved \u2013 sympathetic ophthalmitis and infections. Both are very uncommon and highly treatable. Immediately after surgery (precisely within the range of 24 to 72 hours), you might feel various sensations ranging from pains, nausea, and sometimes, swellings.
