Orbital Hypertelorism is a condition in which the position of the orbits is lateral to the normal position, causing the eyes to be too far apart and grossly deforming the appearance.

This can be corrected with a procedure called an orbital osteotomy. The excess bone between the eyes is removed, and the bone containing the globes is moved back toward the midline of the face.
