The term "orbit" refers to the bones and tissues that surround the eye. If the orbit is damaged, surgical repair may be needed to protect the eye and preserve vision if possible. Orbital surgery may also be necessary in case of a tumor. Tumors tend to make the eye protrude, which can lead to irritation, dryness, and risk of infection as well as a deformed appearance. Orbital trauma, on the other hand, can make the eye sink back in its socket, causing vision loss and facial deformity. An orbital surgeon can remove, rearrange, or reconstruct the bony plates of the orbit to try to preserve vision and an aesthetically normal appearance.
