An evisceration is the removal of the eye's contents, leaving the scleral shell and extraocular muscles intact. The procedure is usually performed to reduce pain or improve cosmesis in a blind eye, as in cases of endophthalmitis unresponsive to antibiotics. An ocular prosthetic can be fitted over the eviscerated eye in order to improve cosmesis.
Either general or local anesthetics may be used during eviscerations, with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory agents injected intravenously.
Evisceration is the removal of viscera (internal organs, especially those in the abdominal cavity). This can refer to:
- Disembowelment, removal of the internal organs of an animal.
- Evisceration (autotomy), ejection of viscera as a defensive action by an animal.
- Evisceration (ophthalmology), removing the internal material from the eye.

Evisceration is a method of autotomy involving the ejection of internal organs used by animals as a defensive strategy. Sea cucumbers (Holothuroidea) eject parts of the gut in order to scare and defend against potential predators such as crabs and fish. The organs are regenerated in a few days by cells in the interior of the sea cucumber.
