For one of our patients, a simple fall resulted in a fracture of the lower wall of the eye socket. Externally, this was manifested only by swelling of the eyelids and a "bruise", but the internal injuries turned out to be much more serious. The patient was concerned about double vision that appeared after the injury. He filed this complaint with the EMC.
The most informative study in the diagnosis of facial injuries is computed tomography. Less than an hour after the patient's treatment, the diagnosis was established. It turned out that during the fall, he suffered a fracture of the lower wall of the eye socket on the right with dislocation of fragments. As a result, the volume of the eye socket increased, and the eye shifted down and back. In addition, the inferior rectus muscle of the eye, involved in the movement of the eyeball, lost its support and was pinched by the sharp edges of bone fragments. As a result, the mechanism of binocular vision "broke down" - objects began to double.
You can't wait in such situations. An urgent operation is needed to restore the structures of the orbit, which was performed - the lower rectus muscle of the eye was released, the lower wall of the orbit was restored with synthetic material. We have restored the volume of the eye socket and returned the support to the muscles.
The patient had no traces on his skin, he was discharged from the clinic the day after the operation, and returned to active life 3 days later.

I will certainly return to EMC
Vitaly, the doctor's assistant was great. He assisted from booking to the
production of invoice for insurance reimbursement and everything in between. A very pleasant and personable youmg man. Thank you Vitaly. Also, Dr Olga Romanova was exceptional. She listened to me and took
into account my self-knowledge pertaining to my own condition, and did not dismiss me and my self-diagnosis. As a doctor myself, I was impressed, as many of my own often complain of poor bedside manners they experienced with other physicians. A day later, and my symptoms have already began to resolve. Thank you Dr Romanova, you are a credit to the profession. As for the facility itself, it was a really nice and modern clinic, well appointed and clean. However, the general staff could be a little more pleasant and not just transactional. Maybe it is because I am a tourist and they know I dont speak the language. No matter the language barrier, a warm smile goes a long way in making others feel welcomed. There was not even a smile from the nurse who gave me a shot. The pharmacist was however quite pleasant and warm. Next time I am in Moscow, and become ill (I hope not haha) I will certainly return to EMC.
