Wiki - Auto-enucleation (oedipism) and other forms of serious self inflicted eye injury are an extremely rare form of severe self-harm which usually results from serious mental illnesses such as schizophrenia.[2] The name comes from Oedipus, who gouged out his eyes in penance after having sex with his mother and killing his father.
Enucleation - removal of the eyeball, but the adjacent structures of the eye socket and eyelids remain. In a deceased person, the cornea can be used for a living person who needs a corneal transplant by a surgical operation called keratoplasty.
Got to love Wikipedia eh?
So today, my gentleman had donated his eyes. I love embalming donors of any kind, merely because of their final sensible act of generosity. Embalming speaking, it has its problems, and in enucleation it is ensuring the eyes look exactly as they should. Also making sure leakage doesnt occur after the embalming treatment is complete.
Good for you Mr Man. Respect.
