    This sample was retrieved from a patient with a blind, painful eye. Blind, painful eye may be the end stage of several conditions including glaucoma, retinal detachment, and endophthalmitis, among others. Evisceration specimens are generally submitted in fragments. Different intraocular structures are identifiable: retina, cornea and capsular bag, choroidal tissue, and hematic material.
