Eye depressions caused by wasting are mainly due to low orbital fat content, and the depressions will gradually return to normal when the patient regains normal body fat.
Eye depression caused by wasting is a physiologic change. The contents of the orbit include the eyeball, optic nerve, blood vessels, muscles, orbital fat, periosteum and fascia.
Orbital fat fills the space between the inner and outer muscle cones to maintain the normal prominence of the eyeball. When the level of orbital fat is low, it does not support the eyeball and can cause sunken eyes.
People who are excessively thin are mostly caused by insufficient nutritional intake and low fat. In addition to obvious thinness, obvious eye hollowing can also be seen, so it is recommended to supplement more nutrition and restore to normal BMI status, which can improve eye hollowing.
When the sunken eyes can not be restored for a long time, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to clarify the cause of the disease for treatment.
