Orbital Decompression--side effects
by silvergirl9114, Dec 08, 2006 12:00AM
I am facing probable orbital decompression surgery for an orbital hemangioma. I understand the theory of why this is necessary and why it works but can't find a whole lot of info on frequency and possible negative side effects. Is this a fairly common proceedure? What can I expect in terms of vision changes----negative side effects, recovery time, restrictions in activity?
I have also been told I need cataract surgery. Which one should be done first?
