enopthalmos

Hi, if the right eye progressively starts sinking, and when one can tell the difference clearly, is that condition enopthalmos for sure?

My neurologist said that my MRI was clear.

The CT SCAN  (PMS 3MM) is pretty clear, except for
1.  a gross nasal septum deviation to the right
2. hypertrophied bilateral inferior  turbinates (right > left side)
3. left sided choncha bullosa in the middle turbinate with eversion.

I also seem to have dust allergy, my doctor prescribed me with MONTAIR FX. AND DUONASE NASAL SPRAY.

Whats the next step? I notice everyday that the eye is getting worse. Wasn't so rapid earlier.
What should I do, which doctors do I consult?

Would a synechiae release help me out?

Please Help!

Thank you!

Hi Sarah,
You need to be evaluated by an ophthalmologist specifically one who is trained in Orbital disease like an Oculoplastic Specialist Ophthalmologist. If you truly have enophthalmos, then it could be related to sinus or nasal disease, but breast disease can be a cause of this condition too, specifically breast cancer. I don't want to scare you, but I don't have all of your information. You need to make sure that you have an adequate breast examination with your PCP or Gyn doctor, then seek the care of an oculoplastics specialist to rule out eye socket (orbital) disease such as enophthalmos. Please keep us posted and best wishes,

I can only make recommendations. Please see my original post and let us know how everything turns out after you have the evaluation.

Could I send you my picture to your e-mail I'd, so you can evaluate my condition better?

hey, thanks for the response!

I was actually feeling soreness in my breasts, and i just had it examined by my gyn yesterday, she checked me up, rather quickly and said I had no lumps, nothing to worry about, this was due to hormonal fluctuations. And she said she was sure. But if I am still not, then I could even get a scan done if I like.

Yeah, Im worried are there any more things this enopthalmos could be related to?
