what is an orbital fracture
Eye Socket Fracture (Orbital Fracture) The eye socket, or orbit, is made up of the bones that surround your eye. If the bones around your eye are hit hard enough, they can break. This is called an orbital fracture. If your eye socket is treated successfully, and the injury to your eye or tissues around your eye was not too severe, you may not have any long-lasting effects from an eye socket fracture.
