Oculoplasty is an exclusive section of Ophthalmology that centers on abnormalities of the structures surrounding the eye. Oculoplastic procedures can be a medical necessity or a cosmetic need. They can be performed on people of all ages. Different types of indications call for differing types of oculoplastic surgery techniques.
An Oculoplasty is typically performed for the following reasons:
Congenital: Oculoplasty surgery can be conducted for congenital deformities, including gaps in the eyelids, abnormal position of eyelids, abnormal shape and size of orbits, blocked tear drainage passages, etc.
Traumatic (Injury): Oculoplasty surgeries can be conducted to repair eyelid injuries, scar development, orbito-facial fractures,loss of eyeball, etc. The surgery can result inbetter eye functioning and look.
Age-related: The operation can be conducted for troublesin-turning or out-turning of the eyelids and rubbing of eye-lashes on the eye, droopy and lax eyelids, eyelid bags, herniation of orbital fats etc. Oculoplasty operations canefficiently correct these difficulties.
Tumour: Tumours and cancers of the lids and orbits are managed by oculoplastic surgeries. These procedures can save life and vision.
Blocked tear ducts: Blocked tear ducts will cause watering of eyes with discharge. This can also cause repeated infections of the eyes and the surrounding areas of the face leading to serious damage to life and vision. DCR or Dacryocystorhinostomy and DCT or Dacryocystectomy are the procedures we perform for the blocked tear ducts.
Thyroid Eye Disease: Thyroid diseases can cause serious problems of eye lids and orbits amongst other things. If medicines do not work then oculoplastic surgeries are necessary to manage the conditions.
The oculoplasty treatment starts with a detailed eye examination to understand the current state of the patient's eye condition. This will help the ophthalmologist have a deeper understanding of the difficulties the patients face in their vision. Once this test is done, the patients are advised to undergo the appropriate oculoplastic procedures to cure their condition.
The patients will be free to pick any of them. Once they have decided to proceed with the procedure, we will give them full support with the latest tools, advanced technology, and well experienced oculoplastic surgeons so that the surgery becomes easy for them.
The cost of oculoplastic surgery varies, depending on the eye condition you want to treat.
