The orbit is the bony socket that surrounds the eye. It contains the eye, arteries, muscles, and nerves; all of which are cushioned by supporting membranes and fat. Numerous medical and surgical problems may affect the orbit.

Trauma may cause fracture of the orbital bone surrounding the eye. If not treated, such fractures may result in deformities of the face or in double vision.

Tumors may affect the structures within the orbit. Management of these tumors may require diagnostic evaluation and surgical exploration. Fortunately, most orbital tumors are not malignant.
