การผ่าตัดเอาลูกตาออก

Key Facts

• Performed when eye is blind and painful with no chance of vision restoration
• Common reasons: trauma, tumors, glaucoma, herpes ulcers in cats
• Cats: collapsed/damaged eyes should be removed — risk of post-traumatic sarcoma (7 years later)
• Brachycephalic breeds predisposed to eye injuries requiring enucleation
• Recovery: swelling subsides in first week, Elizabethan collar for 10-14 days
• Pets adjust well — loss of peripheral vision on affected side only
• Alternatives: evisceration with prosthesis, advanced glaucoma surgery (specialist)
