A medical condition where the eyeball is sunken inward into the eye socket, often caused by injury, disease, or loss of eye muscle tissue.
From Greek 'en' (in) and 'ophthalmos' (eye), literally meaning 'inward eye.' The term describes the abnormal positioning of the eye within its socket.
Enophthalmos is actually how doctors can tell if someone has had serious trauma to the face or eye socket—the sunken appearance is like a window into what happened to the delicate bones and muscles around the eye.
