Did she get it gouged or something? Or is it diseased in some way?
My old mare had uveitis, which is very painful, but it was cured with acupuncture and Transfer Factor. She eventually went blind in that eye from endothelial cell degeneration because of the years of chronic inflammation. She was not in any pain.
If the eye is held shut and constantly weepy, the horse is in pain.
There is no reason to leave a big gaping hole when an eye is removed, unless the plan is to put in a prosthetic. A well done prosthetic should not cause the horse pain, but most people opt for just sewing the eye socket closed.
