Orbit Surgeries by Dr. David Gay | Advanced Orbital Procedures in Texas

What Are Orbit Surgeries?

Orbit surgeries are specialized procedures that address conditions affecting the orbit—the bony cavity surrounding the eye that contains important structures such as muscles, nerves, and fat. These surgeries are often necessary to treat trauma, tumors, infections, or conditions like thyroid eye disease. Dr. David Gay’s expertise in oculoplastic surgery ensures precise care for these complex and delicate procedures.

What Conditions Can Orbit Surgeries Treat?

Orbit surgeries are used to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions, including:

Orbital Trauma

Repairing fractures or damage caused by accidents or injuries.

Thyroid Eye Disease (TED)

Reducing bulging eyes (proptosis) and relieving pressure for improved function and appearance

Orbital Tumors

Removing benign or malignant growths affecting the orbit.

Orbital Infections

Treating severe infections (orbital cellulitis) to prevent complications.

How Are Orbit Surgeries Performed?

Orbit surgeries vary widely depending on the condition being treated. These procedures often involve:

Minimally invasive techniques

For smaller incisions and quicker recovery.

Precision tools

To protect critical structures like the optic nerve and muscles.

Collaborative care

In some cases, working alongside specialists in oncology, ENT, or neurology to ensure comprehensive treatment.

What Is Recovery Like After Orbit Surgery?

Recovery depends on the specific procedure, but most patients can expect:

Swelling and bruising around the eye, which typically subsides in 1-2 weeks.
Vision monitoring to ensure proper healing.
Follow-up appointments to track recovery and address any concerns.
