What is the correct order of treatment for eye enucleation?

The correct procedure for eye enucleation starts with cauterization, which is necessary to seal off blood vessels and prevent further bleeding or leakage of fluids. After this initial step, applying filler is important to restore the natural contour of the eye socket and provide a stable base for the prosthesis.

Following the filler application, the prosthesis is placed, which serves to replicate the appearance of the natural eye and should sit securely in the socket. Cotton is then added to provide additional support and to fill out any remaining space. Finally, an eye cap is positioned to help maintain the desired shape and aesthetics of the eye area.

This sequence is essential to ensure both proper treatment and an aesthetically pleasing result in embalming practices related to eye enucleation.
