Orbital Fracture Treatment
An orbital fracture, also known as an orbital blowout fracture, is frequently found in patients who experience trauma to their faces or skulls. The impact may be mild or severe, causing the eye socket (the bony cup that surrounds and protects the eye) to become fractured or even damaging the eye itself. The extent of the damage depends on the intensity of the trauma and the direction of the impact to the bone and eye. Injury can occur to the globe (eyeball), eyelid, lacrimal system, bones around the eye, sinuses, and/or the brain. Thus, it is very important to carefully examine the patient’s eyes after an accident to understand the full extent of the injuries. Sometimes after an accident it is difficult to assess the extent of injury because the area around the affected eye may be bruised and swollen (eyelid and orbital edema). The doctor will need to wait for the swelling to go down before they can properly examine the eye. This should be done by a specialist, such as an oculoplastic specialist (ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery).
