When it comes to protecting your vision, understanding the orbit, the bony socket that surrounds and supports the eye is essential. The orbit houses not only the eyeball but also the muscles, nerves, blood vessels, and fat that control eye movement and function. At Precise Sight, we provide specialized care for patients experiencing issues related to the orbit in Las Vegas, offering expert diagnosis and personalized treatment plans.

The orbit is the complex structure in your skull that holds your eye in place. It also provides protection and mobility for the eye through the surrounding tissues. When orbital disorders occur, they can affect your vision, eye movement, and even the appearance of your eyes and face.

Patients experiencing orbital symptoms such as eye bulging, double vision, or discomfort should seek prompt evaluation from a qualified eye specialist.

1. Orbital Inflammation (Orbital Cellulitis or Inflammatory Disease)
   Swelling, redness, and pain around the eye often signal an infection or autoimmune condition. This requires urgent treatment to avoid serious complications.
2. Thyroid Eye Disease (Graves’ Orbitopathy)
   Associated with thyroid dysfunction, this condition causes eye bulging, double vision, and eyelid retraction. Inflammation of the orbital tissues can be managed through medication, surgery, or both.
3. Orbital Tumors or Masses
   Both benign and malignant growths can occur in the orbit. Symptoms may include eye bulging (proptosis), vision loss, or pain. Imaging and possibly a biopsy are needed for diagnosis.
4. Orbital Fractures (Trauma-Related)
   Facial injuries can damage the orbital bones, leading to sunken eyes, bruising, or restricted eye movement. Surgical repair is sometimes necessary for full recovery.
5. Congenital Orbital Abnormalities
   Some individuals are born with orbital differences that impact eye shape, movement, or vision development. Early diagnosis and monitoring are key to preserving healthy vision.

Treatment plans are tailored to the specific diagnosis and may include:

• Prescription medications (antibiotics, steroids, or thyroid therapies)
• Surgical procedures for tumor removal or fracture repair
• Orbital decompression for thyroid-related eye conditions
• Diagnostic imaging (CT or MRI) for ongoing monitoring
