Facial Trauma and Fracture Management

A logical and comprehensive program for the total ophthalmic rehabilitation of the dysthyroid patient is described. Surgical rehabilitation is always considered in four stages: (1) orbital decompression, (2) extraocular muscle surgery, (3) eyelid margin repositioning, and (4) blepharoplasty. Each stage must be considered in order. By observance of this protocol, repeat surgical procedures can be minimized.
