Oculoplastic Surgery

Oculoplastic Surgery

What is Oculoplastic Surgery?

Oculoplastic surgery, also known as ophthalmic plastic surgery, is a specialized field of ophthalmology focused on the structures surrounding the eye including the eyelids, orbit (eye socket), tear ducts, and facial areas.

Our expert Oculoplastic surgeons perform both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures to address functional problems and enhance appearance around the eyes. We specialize in eyelid surgery and provide comprehensive orbit care for optimal eye health. Additionally, our oculoplastic treatment options offer solutions for both functional and aesthetic concerns around the eyes.

Our Oculoplastic Procedures

We offer a comprehensive range of oculoplastic procedures to address both functional and cosmetic concerns around the eyes.

DCR (Dacryocystorhinostomy)

Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is a surgical procedure that creates a new pathway for tears to drain when the normal tear drainage system is blocked. This condition often causes excessive tearing (epiphora) and recurrent eye infections.

What Does DCR Treat?

  • Nasolacrimal duct obstruction
  • Chronic tearing and overflow
  • Recurrent eye infections due to tear stasis
  • Dacryocystitis (infection of the tear sac)

Benefits:

Eliminates watery eyes
Prevents infections
High success rate (90%+)
Long-lasting results

Pterygium Surgery

Pterygium is a wedge-shaped growth of abnormal tissue that extends from the conjunctiva (the thin membrane covering the white of the eye) onto the cornea. This procedure removes the pterygium and may include conjunctival grafting to prevent recurrence.

When Is Pterygium Surgery Needed?

  • When the pterygium grows large enough to affect vision
  • For persistent redness, irritation, or discomfort
  • For cosmetic concerns due to appearance
  • When the pterygium threatens to grow over the pupil

Benefits:

Improved appearance
Better vision quality
Reduced irritation
Quick recovery

Ptosis Correction

Ptosis (drooping eyelid) occurs when the upper eyelid falls to a position that is lower than normal, sometimes covering part of the pupil and affecting vision. Ptosis correction surgery repairs and tightens the muscles responsible for lifting the eyelid to restore normal appearance and function.

Types of Ptosis

  • Congenital ptosis (present at birth)
  • Acquired ptosis (develops later in life)
  • Mechanical ptosis (due to excess weight on eyelid)
  • Neurogenic ptosis (due to nerve problems)
  • Aponeurotic ptosis (most common, age-related)

Benefits:

Improved vision
More alert appearance
Reduced forehead strain
Broader visual field

Eyelid Tumors

Eyelid tumors range from benign growths to malignant cancers that can affect the function and appearance of the eyelid. Treatment involves surgical removal of the tumor and, if necessary, reconstruction of the eyelid to maintain function and aesthetics.

Types of Eyelid Tumors

  • Basal Cell Carcinoma (most common)
  • Squamous Cell Carcinoma
  • Sebaceous Cell Carcinoma
  • Melanoma
  • Benign lesions (papillomas, nevi, cysts)

Benefits of Early Treatment:

Cancer prevention
Preserved eyelid function
Better cosmetic outcomes
Simpler reconstruction

Orbital Fractures

Orbital fractures occur when there is a break in one or more of the bones surrounding the eye. These injuries typically result from blunt trauma to the face or head. Orbital fracture repair may be necessary to prevent complications like double vision, sunken appearance, or restricted eye movement.

Types of Orbital Fractures

  • Orbital floor fractures ("blowout fractures")
  • Orbital rim fractures
  • Orbital roof fractures
  • Medial wall fractures
  • Complex fractures involving multiple walls

Benefits of Surgical Repair:

Restored eye position
Improved eye movement
Reduced double vision
Prevention of enophthalmos
