OCULOPLASTY

ABOUT OCULOPLASTY

Oculoplasty is not just a surgical procedure; it’s an art form that enhances your external appearance. It also deals with NLD (NASALACRIMAL DUCT) blockage which causes long term discharge/watering in your eyes. Our specialized oculoplastic surgeries address the structures surrounding the eye—eyelids, tear ducts, and the orbit (eye socket)—to correct a range of conditions that can affect both how you see and how you look. 

Common Eye Conditions Addressed by Oculoplasty are

  • Ptosis (droopy eyelids)
  • Malpositioned eyelids (entropion and ectropion)
  • Eyelid tumors and injuries
  • Anophthalmia (absence of an eye)
  • Dacryocystitis (blocked or infected tear ducts)

Advantages of Oculoplasty Surgery

  • Improved Eye Appearance and Symmetry: Oculoplasty surgery can enhance the aesthetics of your eyes by addressing issues such as drooping eyelids, excess skin, or asymmetry. Achieving better eye symmetry can boost your confidence and provide a more youthful appearance.
  • Enhanced Vision and Comfort: Correcting eyelid abnormalities through oculoplasty can lead to improved vision. For instance, if sagging eyelids obstruct your field of view, surgery can restore clear vision and comfort. It's essential for both functional and cosmetic reasons.
  • Restored Tear Drainage and Reduced Tearing: Tear duct problems can cause excessive tearing or discomfort. Oculoplasty procedures can repair tear duct blockages, ensuring proper tear drainage and reducing tearing.
  • Correction of Functional Eyelid Issues: Oculoplastic surgery can address functional eyelid problems, such as entropion (inward-turning eyelids), ectropion (outward-turning eyelids), or ptosis (drooping eyelids). By correcting these issues, patients experience improved eye function and comfort.
  • Prosthetic Eye: We also provide artificial eye by customising according to your eye size & shape.
