Results: Of the 54 eviscerations, exogenous endophthalmitis was found 25.90%, ocular trauma 22.2%, painful blind eye 14.8%, perforated corneal ulcer and endogenous endophthalmitis both in 13% and perforated infectious corneal ulcers 11.1%; 70.4% were associated with systemic comorbidities and 79.6% were associated with ophthalmologic comorbidities.
