What is another word for ophthalmectomy?
Pronunciation: [ˌɒfθɐlmˈɛktəmɪ] (IPA) 
An ophthalmectomy refers to the surgical removal of an eye or a part of it. There are several synonyms for this term, including enucleation, exenteration, and evisceration. Enucleation involves removing the entire eye while preserving the eye muscles, while exenteration refers to the removal of the entire eyeball, surrounding tissues, and even part of the bone. Evisceration, on the other hand, involves removing the contents of the eye while leaving the sclera or the white part of the eye intact. These terms are used interchangeably in medical literature, but the surgeon often selects the appropriate one based on the patient's specific condition.
