When it may be needed
- Surgery has been suggested for an orbital condition
- Swelling or a change in eye position that does not settle
- Earlier orbital scans or surgery need a review
How we treat it
The orbit is close to the nerves and muscles for sight and eye movement. Dr. Samir explains the approach, the alternatives and the risks for your diagnosis, and involves other specialists when needed.

Common questions
Does seeing an orbital surgeon mean I need surgery?
No. You may need only monitoring, medicine or more tests.
Can the scan report alone decide the operation?
No. The actual images, the examination and your history all matter.
Can a sudden swollen or bulging eye wait?
No. Get checked promptly, especially with pain, double vision or reduced vision.
Will other specialists be involved?
Sometimes. Dr. Samir tells you who leads each part of your care.
Will the operation affect my vision?
The orbit is close to the nerves for sight and eye movement. Dr. Samir explains the risk of vision change or double vision for your case.
Can I get a surgery date at the first visit?
The first visit is an assessment. Once a plan is agreed, we confirm the date and place.
Sudden loss of vision, a curtain over your sight, severe pain or an eye injury: get urgent eye care.
