See your doctor: Orbital cellulitis is due to an infection in the tissues adjacent to and behind the eye. It can rapidly spread, locally, into the nose and into the brain. There is a high risk of vision loss. You should seek help immediately at an er or with your ophthalmologist (not an optometrist). Do not delay.

Antiobiotics, surger: Orbital cellulitis is a serious infection of the tissues around the eye socket. It is treated with IV antibiotics and occasionally surgical drainage if an abscess forms.
