Orbital Tumor Removal Specialist in Sarasota, FL

At Aesthetic Eye & Surgical Arts, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of orbital tumors—abnormal growths located within the orbit, the bony socket that surrounds and protects your eye. These tumors can develop from any of the orbital structures, including the muscles, nerves, blood vessels, or connective tissues around the eye.
 
Orbital tumors can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and both types require expert evaluation to determine the most effective treatment approach. Our board-certified oculoplastic surgeons have extensive experience in managing a wide range of orbital conditions, combining advanced surgical techniques with a meticulous aesthetic approach to preserve both vision and appearance.
 
Symptoms to Watch For:

• Bulging of the eye (proptosis)
• Changes in vision
• Pain, discomfort, or swelling around the eye
• Restricted or abnormal movement of the eye
• Double vision
• Visible changes in the eyelid or surrounding area
 
If you notice any of these symptoms, it is important to seek prompt evaluation. Early detection and intervention are critical for protecting your vision and eye health.

At Aesthetic Eye & Surgical Arts, our specialized provider is highly experienced in diagnosing and treating tumors within the orbit—the bony socket that houses the eye. Orbital tumors can be either benign or malignant, and their impact depends on their size, location, and how quickly they grow. We recommend surgical removal when a tumor causes symptoms such as vision loss, double vision, eye bulging (proptosis), persistent pain, or noticeable changes in the eye’s position or movement. Surgery may also be necessary if diagnostic imaging or biopsy reveals that the tumor is cancerous or has features concerning for malignancy.
 
Even benign tumors may require removal if they are compressing the optic nerve or other vital structures, potentially threatening vision or eye function. At Aesthetic Eye & Surgical Arts, our oculoplastic surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure both effective tumor removal and optimal cosmetic outcomes. Our multidisciplinary approach means that each patient’s care plan is carefully tailored in collaboration with other medical specialists to address both health and aesthetic considerations.

At Aesthetic Eye & Surgical Arts, our experienced provider specializes in the comprehensive evaluation and management of orbital tumors—growths that develop within the eye socket (orbit). Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment and optimal outcomes. Our approach combines advanced technology with expert clinical care:
 
1. Expert Clinical Evaluation
Your diagnostic journey begins with a thorough consultation. Our board-certified oculoplastic surgeons and ophthalmologists take a detailed medical history and perform a focused physical examination. We look for key symptoms such as bulging of the eye (proptosis), changes in vision, pain, or double vision. Careful assessment of eye movement, pupil reactions, and the appearance of the orbit and surrounding tissues provides critical clues.
 
2. Advanced Imaging Studies
Aesthetic Eye & Surgical Arts utilizes state-of-the-art imaging to visualize the orbit in remarkable detail. High-resolution CT scans and MRI allow us to assess the size, location, and characteristics of any tumor, and to understand its relationship to vital structures such as the optic nerve, eye muscles, and orbital bones. In select cases, ocular ultrasound may be performed for lesions involving the eye itself.
 
3. Tissue Sampling and Biopsy
When imaging and clinical findings suggest a tumor, a biopsy may be necessary for definitive diagnosis. Our skilled surgeons can perform minimally invasive tissue sampling—either with a fine needle or through a small surgical procedure—right in our accredited surgical suite. The tissue is then analyzed by expert pathologists to determine the exact tumor type and whether it is benign or malignant, guiding your personalized treatment plan.

At Aesthetic Eye & Surgical Arts, we are dedicated to diagnosing and treating a wide range of conditions affecting the eye and its surrounding structures—including orbital tumors. An orbital tumor refers to an abnormal growth located within the orbit, the bony socket that holds and protects your eye.
 
Symptoms of an Orbital Tumor
 
The signs and symptoms of an orbital tumor often depend on its size, type, and location. Common symptoms to watch for include:

• Proptosis (eye bulging): Forward protrusion of the eye is often one of the most noticeable signs.
• Double vision (diplopia): Tumors can press on muscles that control eye movement, causing misalignment and double vision.
• Vision changes: Blurred or decreased vision may occur if the tumor impacts the optic nerve or compresses parts of the eye.
• Pain or pressure: Discomfort in or around the eye may be present, especially with rapidly growing tumors.
• Swelling or redness: Changes in the appearance of the eyelids or orbit, as well as swelling, may occur.
• Limited eye movement: Difficulty moving the eye in certain directions can be a symptom.
• Other symptoms: Tearing, decreased sensation, or the presence of a visible lump are less common, but possible.
