Treatment of orbital apex syndrome

Treatment of orbital apex syndrome

I have been diagnosed recently of having orbital apex syndrome in my right eye. My doctor has adviced some steroid for the future treatment. Please let me know whether this can be treated by any other means.

What is the cause?  Trauma, inflammation, tumor, bleeding?  You need to discuss the case with a neuro-ophthalmologist because treatment depends on the cause.
