1. Orbital Tumors

• Benign Tumors – Such as cavernous hemangiomas or optic nerve sheath meningiomas.
• Malignant Tumors – Including orbital lymphoma, metastases, or lacrimal gland cancers.

2. Orbital Fractures- Common after trauma, orbital fractures can lead to double vision, sunken eye appearance, or limited eye movement. Surgery helps restore the structure and function of the eye socket.

3. Thyroid Eye Disease (Graves' Orbitopathy)- This autoimmune condition causes proptosis (bulging eyes), eyelid retraction, and vision impairment. Orbital decompression surgery can relieve pressure and improve symptoms.

4. Orbital Infections and Abscesses- Severe infections can lead to orbital cellulitis or abscesses, requiring surgical drainage to prevent complications.

5. Enucleation or Evisceration (Eye Removal Surgery)- In cases of severe trauma, tumors, or painful blind eyes, removing the eye may be necessary. A prosthetic eye can be placed afterward for cosmetic rehabilitation.

• Orbital Tumor Removal: Performed using minimally invasive or open techniques depending on the tumor’s size and location.
• Orbital Fracture Repair: Involves repositioning fractured bones and placing implants to restore the normal orbital structure.
• Orbital Decompression Surgery: Used to reduce eye bulging (proptosis) in thyroid eye disease by removing excess bone and fat around the orbit.
• Orbital Abscess Drainage: An urgent procedure to drain infected material and relieve pressure on the eye and optic nerve.
• Enucleation & Evisceration:

Enucleation – Complete removal of the eye with preservation of surrounding tissues for prosthetic placement.

Evisceration – Removal of the eye's internal contents while keeping the outer shell intact, often done for cosmetic reasons.

Pre-Surgery Evaluation

• Comprehensive eye examination and imaging tests such as CT scans or MRIs.
• Discussion of risks, benefits, and expected outcomes.

Post-Surgery Recovery

• Swelling and bruising are common but usually subside within two to three weeks.
• Pain management and antibiotics may be prescribed.
• In cases of prosthetic eye placement, fitting occurs a few weeks after healing.
• Most patients return to daily activities within a few weeks, depending on the procedure.
