What is Oculoplasty & Orbital Surgery?

Oculoplasty, also known as ophthalmic plastic surgery, focuses on reconstructing and enhancing the function and appearance of the eyelids, tear ducts, orbit (eye socket), and facial structures around the eyes. Orbital surgery deals with conditions affecting the bones, tissues, and muscles surrounding the eye.

Why is Oculoplasty & Orbital Surgery Important?
  • Enhances vision by correcting droopy eyelids and structural abnormalities.
  • Restores function in cases of blocked tear ducts, trauma, or tumors.
  • Improves facial aesthetics by addressing age-related changes and deformities.
  • Prevents vision loss caused by orbital tumors, thyroid eye disease, or trauma.

Common Conditions Treated

Eyelid Disorders & Reconstruction
  • Ptosis (Droopy Eyelid): Weakness of eyelid muscles causing impaired vision.
  • Entropion & Ectropion: Inward or outward turning of the eyelid causing irritation and vision problems.
  • Eyelid Malpositions & Tumors: Removal of abnormal growths with reconstructive repair.
  • Blepharoplasty: Enhances function and appearance by removing excess skin and fat.
Cosmetic & Functional Procedures
  • Botox & Fillers: Reduce wrinkles, spasms, and restore facial symmetry.
  • Facial Rejuvenation: Surgical and non-surgical procedures to enhance aesthetics.
  • Lower Lid Blepharoplasty: Minimises under-eye bags for a youthful look.
Tear Duct & Lacrimal System Disorders
  • Blocked Tear Ducts: Excessive tearing and recurrent infections from nasolacrimal duct obstruction.
  • Dacryocystitis: Tear sac infection requiring surgical management.
  • DCR (Dacryocystorhinostomy): Surgical restoration of tear drainage.

Orbital Conditions & Trauma
  • Orbital Fractures & Trauma: Reconstruction for injuries affecting the eye socket.
  • Thyroid Eye Disease (Graves’ Orbitopathy): Bulging eyes, double vision, and discomfort due to thyroid imbalance.
  • Orbital Tumors & Cysts: Removal of benign or malignant tumors impacting vision and appearance.
  • Prosthetic Eye Fitting: Rehabilitation after enucleation or evisceration.

Who is an Oculoplastic Surgeon?

The eyes are a complex area to work with. An Oculoplastic surgeon is an expert who specializes in surgery of the structures that surround the eyes, the eyelids, the eye socket (orbit), and the tear drainage system. Ocuplastic surgeons handle both medical as well as cosmetic appearances as both are interdependent.

Treatment Approaches
  • Minimally Invasive Surgeries for quicker recovery and reduced scarring.
  • Endoscopic DCR for blocked tear ducts, avoiding external scars.
  • Customized Prosthetic Eye Fitting for a natural look and comfortable wear.
  • Reconstructive Surgery post-trauma or tumor removal to restore appearance and function.
