Eyelid and Orbital Trauma / Orbital Fractures |
| The eyelids and orbit provide protection to the eye. These structures are prone to damage from trauma such as car accidents, fights, and sports injuries. Proper repair of the initial injuries, as well as possible plastic surgery reconstruction may be extremely important in restoring the proper protective function and cosmetic appearance of the eyelids and orbital bones. |
|
| The orbit provides support for the eye. When it is fractured, the eyeball may no longer rest in the proper position. Proper realignment of the bones of the orbit is critical to restoring its function of protection and support for the eyeball. |
|
| If the eye is damaged to the extent that it must be removed, an artificial eye may be designed to fit in the empty socket. At times, it may be necessary to perform a surgical procedure on the socket to make the artificial eye appear more attractive.
