Oculoplastic surgery is a specialized field focused on reconstructive and cosmetic surgery of the eyelids, tear ducts, and orbit (eye socket). It addresses a range of conditions, including drooping eyelids (ptosis), eye socket fractures, tear duct obstructions, and cosmetic eyelid surgery to improve the appearance of the eyes.
Procedures can include eyelid lifts, eyelid reconstruction, tear duct surgery, and orbital surgery to correct deformities or improve appearance. Oculoplastic surgeons also treat conditions such as thyroid eye disease and tumors affecting the eye socket.
Oculoplastic surgery offers significant improvements in both function and aesthetics, improving vision, comfort, and the overall appearance of the eye area.
