Oculoplastic & Cosmetic services
About Oculoplastic & Cosmetic Services
Oculoplastics is a specialised area of ophthalmology that manages and surgically treats conditions affecting the eyelids, tear ducts, and orbit (the bony cavity surrounding the eye). Oculoplastics merges the precision of eye care with the artistry of plastic surgery, focusing on restoring function, enhancing appearance, and improving the quality of life.
Conditions we treat
Oculoplastic care may be recommended for conditions affecting the function, comfort or appearance of the eyes and surrounding area, including:
- Drooping eyelids (ptosis)
- Eyelids that turn inward or outward (entropion and ectropion)
- Blocked tear ducts and watery eyes
- Eyelid lumps and lesions
- Injuries affecting the eyelids or surrounding tissue
- Conditions affecting the eye socket (orbit)
Blocked Tear Duct Treatment
About Blocked Tear Ducts
A Blocked Tear Duct is a common condition affecting people of all ages. It occurs when tears cannot drain properly due to an obstruction in the tear drainage system. When these ducts become blocked, the tears cannot flow into the nasal cavity as they should, leading to persistent watery eyes, recurrent eye infections, and in some cases, pain or swelling around the eyes.
At Moorfields Eye Hospitals UAE, we provide advanced diagnostic services and a range of effective treatments tailored to each patient’s needs. Our experienced surgeons specialise in tear duct surgery at our Dubai and Abu Dhabi branches, using the latest techniques to restore healthy tear drainage and relieve symptoms with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Trauma
About eyelid, tear duct and eye socket injuries
Injuries around the eye can affect the eyelids, tear drainage system and the bones and tissues of the eye socket (orbit). Depending on the type and severity of the injury, they may affect vision, eye movement, eyelid function, tear drainage or the position of the eye.
Types of eye injuries we treat
Oculoplastic injuries may include:
- Cuts or lacerations to the eyelids and surrounding tissues
- Injuries affecting the eyelid margin or position
- Damage to the tear ducts
- Eye socket (orbital) fractures
- Injuries affecting the tissues or muscles within the eye socket
- Changes in the position or appearance of the eye following an injury
