	'''Phantom Eye Syndrome''' (PES) is a condition that occurs in individuals who have undergone [[enucleation]], the surgical removal of an [[eye]]. It is characterized by the sensation that the removed eye is still present and functioning. This phenomenon is similar to [[phantom limb]] syndrome, where amputees feel sensations in a limb that is no longer there.

'''Phantom eye syndrome''' is a medical condition characterized by the perception of visual images or sensations in an eye that has been removed. This phenomenon is similar to [[phantom limb syndrome]], where individuals perceive sensations in a limb that has been amputated.

== Symptoms ==

The symptoms of phantom eye syndrome can vary greatly among individuals. Some people may perceive simple visual images such as light or color, while others may perceive complex images such as faces or landscapes. Some individuals may also experience pain or discomfort in the area where the eye was removed.

== Causes ==

The exact cause of phantom eye syndrome is not known. However, it is believed to be related to changes in the brain that occur after the removal of an eye. The brain continues to receive signals from the nerves that were connected to the removed eye, leading to the perception of visual images or sensations.

== Treatment ==

There is currently no cure for phantom eye syndrome. However, treatments are available to help manage the symptoms. These may include medications to reduce pain and discomfort, as well as therapies to help individuals cope with the visual hallucinations.
