Specialized Care for Protection of Vision and Facial Integrity

Orbital conditions range from thyroid-related inflammation to tumors, fractures, and rare growths near the eye. These disorders often require sophisticated imaging, precise diagnosis, and careful surgical planning. Dr. Allison Coombs, a board-certified oculofacial plastic surgeon and ophthalmologist, brings advanced expertise in managing and operating within this delicate region. Her care is both thoughtful and highly technical, balancing functional needs with the highest standards of safety.

Addressing Orbital Conditions

The orbit contains the eye, muscles, nerves, blood vessels, fat, and connective tissue. When any part of this space is compromised by inflammation, trauma, tumors, or growths, symptoms may include pain, double vision, bulging of the eye, or vision changes.
