Enophthalmos correction surgery

 619. < Enophthalmos correction surgery>

Deep-set eyes correction surgery addresses enophthalmos, where the eyes appear sunken. Mild cases with upper eyelid hollowness can be treated with micro-fat grafting to restore volume. However, true enophthalmos—where the eyeball itself is recessed—requires autologous tissue reconstruction or synthetic implants for correction.

Causes & Surgical Approaches

Enophthalmos may result from trauma (e.g., blowout fractures) or congenital factors like prominent brow bones or a high nasal bridge.
1️⃣ Autologous Reconstruction – Uses bone grafts from the cheekbone or jaw to restore orbital volume.
2️⃣ Implants & Titanium Mesh – Artificial materials like memory-shape implants push the eye forward for better symmetry.

In unilateral enophthalmos, correction of the affected eye may be sufficient, but if the unaffected eye is naturally protruding, combining proptosis reduction on one side with enophthalmos correction on the other achieves optimal balance.

Evolutionary Perspective

Deep-set eyes evolved for cognitive processing, positioning the visual system behind a more developed frontal lobe, while protruding eyes are linked to quick reflexes. Understanding these traits helps patients make informed decisions about surgery.
