Facial Fractures
Fractures of the orbit (the four bony wall surrounding the eyeball, and all its contents) could cause the eye to appear sunken back, allow for double vision, poor vision, blindness and disfigurement. These fractures are now frequently repaired via very small well hidden incisions. Facial fractures could cause obvious bony disfigurement and facial asymmetry if not repaired.
It is important to consult an orbital and facial reconstructive surgery expert to determine if surgery is necessary and should be done rather soon after the date of injury.
