Can My Close See Eyes Be Treated If I have Had Prior Orbital Decompressions?

Q: Dr. Eppley,  Can I get orbital box osteotomies if I have had prior orbital decompressions?

A:As for the close set eyes the only effective procedure in an adult would be a subcranial 180 degree orbital box osteotomy. But having had orbital decompression with bone removals, both medially and laterally that is a procedure that would probably not be effective now. (the bone would probably fracture)
