Anophthalmia, Microphthalmia, Post Enucleation Socket Syndrome (PESS) and Socket reconstruction - What it is

Anophthalmia results when an eye is surgically removed for medical reasons.

Microphthalmia develops when an eye shrinks after severe infection or injury, also known as phthisis.

Although rare, both conditions may be congenital as part of a developmental anomaly.
