We have recently added an article to artificialeyes.net which explains the operation to remove an eye. When someone has an eye removed the procedure is explained by the ophthalmologist. This is usually an emotional time for the patient and most of what they are told is quickly forgotten.
This article uses simple diagrams to illustrate the operation ,you will not be confronted by explicit medical images.
