Anatomy

Eye Socket Floor (Orbital Floor / Infraorbital Region)

Your eye socket (orbit) has four walls made of bone, and the floor (infraorbital region) is the bottom wall that supports your eye and eye muscles. Eye socket fractures can occur from trauma or accidents. Prompt medical attention is important if you suspect an orbital floor fracture, as it can affect eye movement and vision.
