Oculoplasty
Oculoplasty is a specialized branch of ophthalmic surgery that addresses structural and functional problems around the eye — including eyelids, tear ducts, and the orbit.
It helps restore normal function and enhances appearance, often following trauma, tumors, or congenital conditions.
Both reconstructive and cosmetic goals are achieved with precision and care.
Overview And Clinical Background
Restoring form and function around the eye
Oculoplasty encompasses both reconstructive and aesthetic surgeries.
Procedures can improve eye protection, vision, and facial harmony.
- Scope: Includes eyelid, lacrimal system, and orbital surgeries.
- Indications: Trauma, tumors, droopy eyelids, or cosmetic needs.
- Goal: Functional recovery with natural appearance.
Symptoms, Signs And Presentation
Patients may present with droopy eyelids, tearing, swelling, or deformities affecting vision and appearance.
Detailed evaluation determines the right corrective plan.
- Ptosis (droopy eyelids): Can obstruct vision and cause fatigue.
- Tearing or discharge: Due to blocked tear ducts or eyelid malposition.
- Orbital deformity: From trauma or previous surgery requiring reconstruction.
Diagnosis Methods And Investigations
Functional and structural assessment
A comprehensive eye and facial evaluation identifies the cause and guides surgical planning.
- Slit-lamp examination: Assesses eyelid position and ocular surface.
- CT/MRI imaging: Evaluates orbital or deep structural involvement.
- Tear duct evaluation: Detects blockages or abnormal drainage pathways.
Treatment Options And Surgical Techniques
Treatment may involve minor corrections to complex reconstructions depending on the issue.
Modern techniques ensure safe, aesthetic, and functional outcomes.
- Blepharoplasty: For excess eyelid skin or fat removal.
- Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR): Restores tear duct drainage for chronic watering eyes.
- Orbital reconstruction: Repairs bone or tissue damage following trauma or tumor removal.
Recovery, Risks And Prognosis
Recovery depends on the type of surgery but is usually smooth.
Mild bruising or swelling resolves in days.
Final results combine improved comfort, protection, and aesthetics.
