Orbital decompression is a surgical procedure used to relieve pressure in the orbit, the bony cavity that contains the eye and surrounding structures. This condition, known as orbital congestion or orbital hypertension, can be caused by various conditions such as thyroid eye disease or Graves' ophthalmology. The surgery involves removing small portions of bone from the orbit to create more space for the swollen tissues and relieve pressure on the eyes. This procedure aims to improve vision, reduce eye discomfort, and prevent further damage to the eyes.
