Normal binocular vision is important to the human modem life.In recent years,traumatic orbital fracture incidence increased year by year because of traffic accidents or boxing injuries.Binocular vision could be altered in orbital wall fractures because of strabismus,diplopia,eye movement disorders,eyeball displacement and enophthalmos.The effect of a conservative treatment is limited,and most of patients may recover their binocular vision with surgical treatment.Few postoperative diplopia could be treated with muscle surgery.The mechanisms and treatments of orbital wall fractures in relation to binocular vision are discussed.
