The orbit—the bony socket that surrounds and protects the eye—is home to delicate structures including muscles, nerves, fat, and connective tissues. When disease, inflammation, injury, or growths affect this area, patients may experience changes in vision, eye movement, comfort, or appearance. These conditions require expert evaluation and precise treatment.

Thyroid Eye Disease (TED)
Thyroid eye disease is an autoimmune condition that causes inflammation and changes to the tissues around the eyes, leading to symptoms such as bulging, double vision, eyelid retraction, and pressure behind the eyes.
Orbital Tumors
Orbital tumors—whether benign or malignant—can affect vision, eye alignment, or appearance. Accurate diagnosis and timely treatment are essential to protect the surrounding structures.
Trauma & Fractures
Injuries to the orbit or facial bones can impact both the function and the appearance of the eyes. Expert reconstruction helps restore alignment, movement, and natural facial contours.
