About

Oculoplastics (Cosmetic Eye Surgery) is a specialised area of ophthalmology that deals with the management and surgical treatment of conditions affecting the eyelids, tear ducts, and orbit (bony cavity that surrounds 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.

Oculoplastics encompasses a range of surgeries designed to improve the eye’s function, appearance, and surrounding structures, from eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) and lacrimal (tear duct) abnormalities to severe eye traumas.

Conditions often managed under oculoplastics include:

  • Eyelid malpositions like ptosis (droopy eyelid)
  • Entropion (inward folding eyelid)
  • Ectropion (outward folding eyelid)
  • Cosmetic eyebrow,
  • Upper and lower eyelid surgery.

There are several risk factors associated with these conditions. Ageing is a natural contributor to many oculoplastic disorders, particularly droopy eyelids and eyelid malposition. Trauma, either from accidents or previous surgeries, may also result in the need for corrective or reconstructive oculoplastic surgery.
