Enophthalmos And/or Hypoglobus After Orbital Floor Fracture? (photo)

November 9, 2012
Asked By:zenith247 in California, CA

I am concerned that my eye is displaced after an orbital floor fracture. I had surgery 5+ weeks ago to repair the orbital floor and zygoma. It appears that the injured eye is lower and more posterior than the other. What are my options? If it ends up that my eye is out of position, what is the procedure to correct it? When will I be able to undergo such a procedure, given I just had surgery on the area less than 2 months ago? My left lower eyelid sags from the transconjunctival incision btw.
