Wanting reference info.....re: opposite to exophthalmos?

[uncut]

I am trying to find reference information about sunken eye conditions.....the opposite to exophthalmos, which is the abnormal protrusion of the eyeball. I would have thought that it would be called enophthalmos..... but, it seems this word doesn't exist???

Opthalmic term (which may be miss-spelled here)
ptysical or tysical, anopthalmic,

There are number of opthalmic dictionaries on line, but I can't find ptysical in one and it's too eary to wake up one of my ophthalmologist buddies, and all my ophthalmic dictionaries are at the office..
