Horse A - Enucleation after severe fungal keratitis. Ocular muscles involved and their removal prevented the use of a prosthesis.

Horse B - Socket of right eye. This horse would prefer to use his right side to face the entrance of the stall and was very comfortable being approached on the right.

Horse C - This eye was enucleated for an unknown reason. A prosthesis was used to maintain the shape of the eye and the lids were sutured closed. The eyelid muscles still work so they can be seen twitching, but the horse is very comfortable. In my opinion this works better than an enucleation without a prosthesis.

Horse D - Long standing eye injury from a puncture wound. Now a year later after enucleation.
Squamous cell carcinoma (cancer) of the left eyelid and associated eye tissue. This eye was enucleated, and the horse became pain-free.
