Orbital Decompression Surgery
Orbital decompression surgery is a procedure designed to reduce pressure in the eye socket (orbit) and restore the eyes to their normal position. At Ocean Health Travel, we offer safe and effective orbital decompression surgeries performed by expert ophthalmologists. This procedure is commonly used to treat conditions such as thyroid eye disease (Graves’ orbitopathy) and provides both aesthetic and functional benefits.
What Is Orbital Decompression?
Orbital decompression is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess tissue or bone from the eye socket to reduce pressure around the eyes. This helps to correct eye protrusion (proptosis) and restore the eyes to their normal position. It is often performed in cases of thyroid eye disease, trauma, or tumors.
