Orbital Fractures
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Orbital fractures are injuries to the bones that form the cavity surrounding and protecting the eye. They are usually caused by blows or trauma to the face and can affect the position of the eyeball.
Common symptoms:
- Pain and swelling around the eye.
- Double or blurred vision.
- Bruising and difficulty moving the eye.
When to see a doctor? After facial trauma with eye pain, changes in vision, or significant swelling, it is important to seek care without delay.
Which specialist treats it? The initial evaluation can be done by the general practitioner, and the ophthalmologist examines the impact on the eye and the orbit. The most appropriate course is to have a professional examine the injury directly to determine follow-up.
