Any type of damage or trauma to the bony eye socket (orbit) can be serious because it houses all of the components that support healthy eye function:
Eyeball
Fat to protect and cushion the eye
Optic nerves
Muscles
Blood vessels
Eye socket problems can lead to eye pain, swelling, vision loss, facial numbness, sunken eyes or double vision. Our surgeons can diagnose and repair eye socket problems caused by:
Fractures
Thyroid eye disease
Orbital or intraocular tumors
Inflammatory and infectious conditions
Treatment may include removal of tumors, reconstruction of the orbit or removal of an eye in severe cases. If you are experiencing any vision problems, a comprehensive eye exam is the only way to determine the root cause of your problems.
