What is Oculoplastics and Orbit Surgery?

Oculoplastics and orbit surgery are sub-specialties of ophthalmology that deal with the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the eyelids, tear ducts, orbit, and surrounding facial structures. This field encompasses a broad range of procedures, from reconstructive surgeries following injury or trauma to cosmetic treatments to improve the appearance of the eye area.

Conditions Treated

Our team is experienced in treating a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Eyelid malpositions: Drooping or sagging eyelids, eyelids that turn in or out, or eyelids that do not close properly can cause discomfort and vision problems.
  • Tumors: Both benign and malignant tumors can develop in the structures surrounding the eye and may require surgical removal.
  • Orbital fractures: A fracture of the bones surrounding the eye can cause double vision, swelling, and eye movement problems.
  • Thyroid eye disease: This autoimmune disorder can cause eye bulging, eyelid retraction, and double vision.
  • Tear duct problems: Blocked tear ducts can cause excessive tearing, eye infections, and eye irritation.

Treatments Offered

Our team offers a wide range of treatments to address the diverse needs of our patients, including:

  • Eyelid surgery: Procedures to correct eyelid malpositions, remove excess skin, or repair damage caused by injury or disease.
  • Orbital surgery: Surgery to repair fractures or remove tumors in the bony structures surrounding the eye.
  • Tear duct surgery: Procedures to open or repair blocked tear ducts to improve tear drainage.
  • Cosmetic procedures: Treatments such as Botox injections or dermal fillers to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging around the eyes.
