Oculoplastic & Cosmetic Eye Surgery in Dubai & Abu Dhabi

Oculoplastic specialists treat conditions affecting the structures around the eye, including droopy eyelids, eyelid malposition, blocked tear ducts, eye socket trauma, eyelid injuries and selected cosmetic procedures around the eyes. At Moorfields Eye Hospitals Dubai and Abu Dhabi, treatment is planned with attention to both the health of the eye and the appearance of the surrounding area.

You should consider seeing an oculoplastic specialist if you have droopy eyelids, eyelids turning inward or outward, persistent watery eyes, recurrent tear duct infections, eyelid lumps, changes in the eye socket, or trauma around the eye. These conditions and symptoms can affect vision, appearance and overall eye health, so an assessment by an Oculoplastics specialist helps identify the cause and the most suitable treatment. Assessment matters most if there is double vision, a visible wound or deformity, or significant swelling, as these can indicate damage that requires specialist treatment.

A blocked tear duct prevents tears from draining normally, which commonly causes persistent watering, sticky discharge, and sometimes recurrent infection or swelling near the inner corner of the eye and it can affect both adults and children. Treatment depends on where and why the blockage has occurred and can range from clearing the duct to surgery that creates a new drainage channel. The first step is an assessment to identify the cause, as persistent watering or repeated infections rarely resolve on their own and are usually a sign that the drainage system needs to be examined directly.

Conditions treated at Moorfields Eye Hospitals Dubai and Abu Dhabi under oculoplastics include eyelid malpositions such as ptosis, entropion (inward folding eyelid) and ectropion (outward folding eyelid), blocked tear ducts, trauma to the eye socket including fractures and tear duct damage, and cosmetic concerns affecting the eyelid area.

Moorfields Eye Hospitals Dubai and Abu Dhabi offers a range of surgical and non-surgical cosmetic treatments for the eye area, including upper and lower blepharoplasty, tear trough filler, polynucleotides, PRP treatment, and filler dissolving, where clinically appropriate. Each treatment is carefully planned around the eye’s anatomy to achieve balanced, natural-looking results while protecting eye health.

The cost of eyelid surgery depends on the procedure, its complexity, whether one or both eyelids are treated, and whether the case is functional or cosmetic. For this reason, the cost is provided after an assessment rather than as a fixed figure. Where surgery is functionally indicated, part or all of the cost may be eligible for insurance. To receive an accurate estimate for your situation, you can request a consultation with our oculoplastic specialists, and they will explain what is involved at each stage.

The area around the eyes is delicate, and procedures here can affect both vision and appearance. At Moorfields, oculoplastic procedures are performed by specialised surgeons who are ophthalmologists first and are trained to protect the function of the eye whilst treating the eyelid or surrounding tissue. This matters most in complex, reconstructive, and revision cases, including orbital fractures and corrections, where the priority remains the eye itself.
