Orbital Decompression is particularly beneficial for patients suffering from thyroid eye disease (TED), where inflammation causes the eye muscles and fat to swell, leading to bulging eyes and vision problems. By creating additional space in the orbital cavity, the pressure on the eyes is reduced, which can alleviate discomfort and improve visual function. This helps to prevent the worsening of the condition, especially in cases where the bulging eyes could lead to corneal exposure or damage to the optic nerve.

For patients with TED, Orbital Decompression can also help improve the alignment of the eyes, which may become misaligned due to the swelling. The surgery can correct issues with double vision, reduce eyelid retraction, and make it easier for the patient to close their eyes fully. Additionally, the procedure can improve the overall appearance of the eyes, restoring a more natural and less protruding look. In some cases, orbital decompression can even help with other conditions such as trauma or tumors affecting the orbit.

Orbital Decompression is a surgical procedure that aims to relieve pressure within the Eye Socket (orbit). This procedure involves removing or repositioning the bones around the eye or removing fatty tissue behind the eye to create more space. Orbital decompression is typically performed to address conditions that cause the eyes to bulge, such as thyroid eye disease (Graves' orbitopathy). The procedure can also be used to improve the appearance of the eyes or prevent vision loss due to increased pressure behind the eyes.

The goal of Orbital Decompression is to improve both the aesthetic appearance and functional health of the eyes. In patients with thyroid eye disease, the eyes can protrude due to inflammation and swelling in the tissues around the eyes. By creating more space in the orbit, orbital decompression helps relieve the pressure on the eyes, reduces bulging, and can help improve eye movement and alignment. This procedure can be performed using various techniques depending on the severity of the condition and the desired outcome.
