Upper right image: cutting the optic nerve. Middle left image: the globe is enucleated. Middle right image: dissection of the globe showing the melanoma. Tissue is then sent to pathology Lower left image: putting the porous polyethyline implant inside the donor sclera and marking muscles' insertion. Lower right image: reinsertion of the rectus muscles on the donor sclera, then covering with tenon and conjunctiva.
