Will insurance pay for me to have my orbital blowout fracture fixed if my vision is still ok?

Asked By:jac22 in Richardson, TX

I plan to go see a surgeon soon but im wondering if my insurance will pay for me to have my medial blowout fracture fixed. I chose not to have surgery a few years ago bc the dr I saw said that once the swelling went down everything would look "normal" well almost 3 years later it doesn't look normal. I have a sunken eye and I HATE the way I look. I really want it fixed but I'm not sure if its necessary since I have ok vision. Which bones are broke in a medial blowout? Whats the risk? Thanks!
