Oculoplasty, also called oculoplastic or ophthalmic plastic surgery, focuses on the structures around the eye. This includes the eyelids, tear drainage system, orbit or eye socket, eyebrows and surrounding facial tissues.
At Laxmi Eye Hospital & Institute, oculoplasty care includes evaluation and treatment for functional, reconstructive and cosmetic concerns around the eyes. The aim is to protect eye health, improve comfort and restore normal eyelid or tear drainage function wherever possible.
Oculoplasty treatment is planned after careful examination of the eyelids, tear drainage, orbit and eye surface.
Ptosis or drooping eyelid may affect appearance, vision field and eye comfort.
Inward or outward turning eyelids can cause irritation, watering, redness and surface damage.
Tear drainage problems may cause watering, discharge, swelling or recurrent infection.
Lumps, cysts, tumours or abnormal growths around the eyelid need specialist review.
Orbit-related conditions may cause swelling, protrusion, pain, double vision or facial injury concerns.
Reconstruction may be needed after trauma, tumour removal or age-related eyelid changes.
Drooping eyelid blocking vision or causing tired eyes.
Excessive watering, discharge or recurrent tear duct infection.
Eyelid turning inward or outward, causing irritation or redness.
Swelling, lump, growth or wound around the eyelid.
Eye socket injury, protruding eye, facial trauma or orbital symptoms.
The evaluation may include eyelid position assessment, vision testing, eye surface examination, tear drainage assessment, eye movement check and review of medical history. Imaging may be advised in selected orbital or trauma-related cases.
