Asked By:tmyles in Chicago, IL

Hello, in November of 2016 I received an orbital blowout fracture. I went to a eye specialist who told me I would need surgery to correct the issue. I never had surgery and I am terrified. Is surgery the only way to fix enophthalmos? My right eye is 3cm pushed in more than my left.
