label_lc: iatrogenic anophthalmos
description: A form of acquired anophthalmos resulting from surgical removal of the eye (enucleation or evisceration), typically performed due to trauma, intraocular tumors, intractable pain in a blind eye, or severe infection. Unlike congenital anophthalmos, the orbit may have previously developed normally and prosthetic rehabilitation is often pursued.
