What are surgical treatment options for a sunken eye after an orbital floor blowout?

January 1, 2019
Asked By:jsong8 in Nyack, NY

After I had surgery to repair an orbital floor blowout and fracture of the orbital rim, the eye relevant to the injury became sunken. It is noticeably pushed back from the original state and double vision is prevalent in the very top and very bottom of my visual range. Is it possible to have surgery to reposition the eye more outwards, back to its original location? If so, what surgeries are commonly available and recommended? Thanks in advance.
