Abstract

Orbital blowout fracture causes include violence, sports, traffic accidents, and falls, with an object striking the eyeball with some force. Subjects numbered 30 studied clinically from 1986 to 2005. The prevalent symptom was double vision requiring surgical repair in 21 subjects. Recovery was related to surgical timings, underscoring the importance of early diagnosis and intervention.
