Oculoplastics

A Harmony of Vision and Aesthetics

Oculoplastics is a specialized branch of ophthalmology focused on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the eyelids, tear ducts, and the orbit. These surgeries aim to enhance visual function while improving aesthetic appearance. In this article, we highlight some of the key procedures offered at our center, including ptosis correction, blepharoplasty, and DCR surgery for nasolacrimal duct obstruction.

Ptosis Correction

What is ptosis?

Ptosis refers to the abnormal drooping of the upper eyelid, which may result from weakness in the eyelid’s lifting muscle or neurological issues. It can impair vision, especially if the drooping eyelid covers the pupil.

The importance of treatment

Ptosis is not merely a cosmetic issue; it can significantly impact vision quality, particularly in children, as it may hinder proper visual development. Treatment depends on the severity and underlying cause of the condition and often involves repairing the levator muscle or employing alternative surgical techniques to achieve adequate eyelid elevation.

Blepharoplasty

What is blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin, fat, or muscle from the upper or lower eyelids. This procedure is often performed to enhance the overall appearance of the eyes or to address functional issues caused by sagging skin.

Benefits of the procedure

In addition to improving aesthetics, blepharoplasty can enhance the field of vision for patients experiencing obstruction due to drooping skin. This surgery is considered safe and effective when performed by a specialized medical team.

DCR Surgery for Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction

What is nasolacrimal duct obstruction?

Nasolacrimal duct obstruction occurs when the ducts responsible for draining tears from the eyes to the nose become blocked. This condition can lead to excessive tearing and increase the risk of infections and inflammation.

What is DCR surgery?

Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is a surgical procedure that creates a new pathway between the tear sac and the nose to allow tears to drain naturally. This procedure can be performed using traditional surgical techniques or endoscopic methods, which minimize recovery time and promote faster healing.
