Oculoplastics and Ocular Surgery
Understanding Oculoplastics and Orbit Surgery:
Oculoplastics and orbit surgery involve specialized procedures aimed at treating conditions affecting the eyelids, orbit (eye socket), tear ducts, and surrounding facial structures. Let's delve into these essential aspects of eye care and explore the conditions that may require oculoplastic and orbital surgical interventions.
The Oculoplastics and Orbit:
The oculoplastic region encompasses the delicate structures surrounding the eye, including the eyelids, tear ducts, and orbit. These structures not only protect the eye but also play a significant role in maintaining vision and facial aesthetics.
Common Conditions and Concerns:
- Eyelid Disorders: These may include droopy eyelids (ptosis), eyelid malpositions (entropion and ectropion), eyelid tumors, and excessive eyelid skin (dermatochalasis), which can affect vision and appearance.
- Orbital Trauma: Injuries to the orbit can result in fractures, orbital blowout fractures, or orbital hemorrhages, leading to double vision, eye movement problems, or even vision loss.
- Tear Duct Disorders: Tear duct obstruction or dysfunction can cause excessive tearing (epiphora), recurrent eye infections, or tearing and discharge from the eyes.
Our Comprehensive Services:
At our clinic, we offer a comprehensive range of services to address oculoplastic and orbit conditions:
- Thorough Evaluations: Our skilled oculoplastic specialists conduct thorough evaluations using advanced diagnostic techniques to assess the health and function of the eyelids, orbit, and tear ducts.

- Tear Duct Surgery: We offer surgical interventions such as dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) or tear duct stenting to address tear duct obstructions and restore proper tear drainage.

Who Should Seek Help?
If you experience symptoms such as droopy eyelids, double vision, eye discomfort, excessive tearing, or changes in eye appearance, it's essential to seek professional evaluation from an oculoplastic specialist. Early intervention can prevent complications and improve outcomes.
