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.
