Sunken eye sockets can be caused by many reasons, such as orbital fracture, atrophy of soft tissues in the eye socket, dehydration, and so on.
1. Orbital fracture: Once the eye suffers from trauma, the external force may be transmitted to the orbital bone wall, resulting in orbital fracture, which will form obvious eye socket depression.
2. Orbital soft tissue atrophy: this leads to a decrease in the fullness of the orbits, resulting in the formation of sunken eye sockets, which is common in the elderly.
3. Dehydration: Dehydration within a short period of time can lead to sunken eye sockets, but it is reversible and can be recovered after rehydration.
If the patient has sunken eye sockets and other discomforts, he should go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital in time, and the doctor will find out the specific cause through examination and treat the cause.
