Working through the nostril with a narrow camera and instruments, the surgeon removes bone from one wall of the eye socket so the eye has more room and sits back into a normal position. It relieves a bulging eye and the pressure on the optic nerve that comes with it, most often from thyroid eye disease or after injury. No cut is made in the face.
