Enophthalmos is the condition in which the patient suffers from recession of the eyeballs. There are several symptoms of enophthalmos which can be seen in patients who require orbital floor reconstruction in such patients. Sunken eyeballs are one of the major symptoms which help in determining the ophthalmologist condition in the patients.
Enophthalmos can be detected with the help of several tests like home vision tests and then diagnose the condition in the patients. In this way, the physician or doctor will be able to know the eye health of the patients. In the condition of the enophthalmos, the treatment done is usually the orbital floor reconstruction so that the recession of the eyeballs can be corrected and the eyeballs can be positioned in the original position. Enophthalmos is treated by medical as well as surgical treatments depending on the etiology of this condition. Moreover, the medications given to every patient of enophthalmos varies with the main condition and symptoms of the patients. If the patients have any other medical Condition then the medications vary to a great extent with every patient. Chemotherapy is used in this condition to direct towards a specific disease like metastatic disease. Also, ionizing radiations are of great use in these diseases which ensures the improvement of the health of the patients in a better way. Immunosuppressive treatments are done in case the patients have some other diseases like inflammatory disorders.

After this the orbit of the eyes is corrected and then the soft tissue management is done in a proper under the guidance of the experienced and skilled surgeons. The orbit is stabilized and corrected with the help of bone grafts which are allowed to heal and loss of a certain portion of the bone graft is also expected. So, over correction is done by the team of surgeons. Therefore, the surgery is done in such a way that the bone portion and functioning of the eyes is not compromised after the completion of the procedure. The stabilization is very important and then the soft tissue is done on the posterior part to prevent anymore recession of the eyeballs.
