Oculoplasty Surgery

This is an eye reconstructive surgery. It’s a specialized area of ophthalmology that focuses on the eyelids and the structures surrounding the eye, which also includes problems of the Lacrimal (tear) system and the Orbit, the region surrounding the eyeball.

An oculoplastic surgeon performs these procedures. Repairing droopy eyes, obstruction in the tear duct and removal of tumours are some surgeries that are covered in an oculoplastic procedure. Most of these surgeries are performed at the doctor's office with the help of local anaesthesia. If it is performed in a hospital then the patient will have to be sedated.

What Is Oculoplasty

Oculoplastic surgery is plastic surgery isolated to the areas around the eyes: the eyelids, orbit (bones behind the eye) and lacrimal (tear drain) system. An oculoplastic surgeon is an ophthalmologist who performs cosmetic and reconstructive procedures on the eyelids, orbit (bones and anatomic structures behind the eyeball) and lacrimal (tear drain) system. The field of oculoplastic surgery combines the precision and microsurgery of ophthalmology with the aesthetic and reconstructive concepts of plastic surgery. Oculoplastic surgery is a small, highly selective subspeciality of ophthalmology.
