ORBIT (EYE SOCKET) :

The eyeball, muscles for eye movement, optic nerve, and the surrounding fat are protected by the orbital bones that make up the eye socket. Orbital disorders can vary from infection to trauma and tumors. Thyroid eye disease is also frequently managed by the oculoplastic surgeon for assessment and intervention.

On rare occasions, people may be born without an eyeball, may lose vision and end up with a deformed eye due to an injury or disease, such as infection, cancer or glaucoma. You may require surgeries like evisceration or enucleation with an orbital implant to restore the globe’s shape and integrity before a prosthetic eye can be placed. Although there is no vision on the affected eye, this prosthetic eye can improve your cosmesis and self-confidence.
