Orbital Trauma Treatment in Pune by Dr. Akash Yadav
Orbital trauma refers to injuries affecting the eye socket (orbit), which houses the eyeball, muscles, nerves, and surrounding structures. These injuries can result from accidents, sports-related impacts, violence, or falls. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent complications like vision loss or facial deformities. Dr. Akash Yadav, a leading oculoplastic surgeon in Pune, specializes in advanced orbital trauma treatment, offering expert care for fractures, eye socket injuries, and reconstructive surgeries
Common Causes of Orbital Trauma
- Blunt force trauma (e.g., car accidents, sports injuries, physical assaults)
- Penetrating injuries (e.g., sharp objects, projectiles)
- Fractures (e.g., orbital floor fracture, blowout fracture)
- Facial trauma (e.g., falls, industrial accidents)
Symptoms of Orbital Trauma
- Pain and swelling around the eye
- Bruising (periorbital ecchymosis)
- Double vision (diplopia) due to muscle entrapment
- Numbness in the cheek, forehead, or upper lip (nerve damage)
- Sunken or bulging eye (enophthalmos/exophthalmos)
- Difficulty moving the eye (restricted gaze)
- Blood in the eye (hyphema)
Diagnosis of Orbital Trauma
- A thorough evaluation is necessary to assess the extent of injury:
- Physical examination (checking eye movement, vision, and facial symmetry)
- Imaging tests (CT scan, MRI, or X-ray to detect fractures or soft tissue damage)
- Ophthalmologic assessment (to rule out retinal detachment or optic nerve injury)
Pterygium Removal: Treatment Options
Non-Surgical Treatments
- Ice packs to reduce swelling
- Pain relievers (NSAIDs)

- Nasal decongestants (for sinus-related complications)
Surgical Treatments
- Orbital fracture repair (reconstructing the eye socket with implants)
- Muscle or nerve repair (if movement is restricted)
