Eye Socket Decompression Through the Nose

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 31293

Uses a slim telescope passed through the nostril to remove bone from the inner and lower walls of the eye socket, giving a bulging eye room to settle back and easing pressure on the optic nerve. It is done most often for thyroid eye disease. Because everything is reached through the nose, there is no cut on the face.
