Enophthalmos 2 yrs after orbital blowout repair of right eye due to blunt eye trauma. Can it be improved? (photos)

September 24, 2015
Asked By:Hutch2013 in Kingston, ON

I have 1-2mm of enophthalmos (guessing). I have diplopia in upward gaze and outward gaze starting around 20 degrees. My eyelid is droopy now and is quite bothersome both mentally and physically. The right eye gazes higher than my other eye when looking slightly upwards. I feel that the eye has tilted upwards as it has sunken into my orbit. It was a large fracture repaired with a medpor implant. I also have aches/pains. Can the enophthalmos and diplopia be improved at all?
