A phthisis bulbi is a small, shrunken, non-functional eye. The affected eye may have partial vision retained in some cases; though blindness with this disorder is very common. The condition may result from an eye disease, trauma or inflammation.

In phthisis bulbi, the eye has a scary and shrunken appearance. An eye ball may appear soft.
