What Is the Meaning of Oculoplasty?
Oculoplasty, meaning oculoplastic surgery, is a specialised branch of ophthalmology focusing on the tissues around the eyes, including the eyelids, orbits (eye socket), tear ducts, and surrounding facial structures. The primary goal of oculoplasty is to improve both the function and aesthetics of these critical areas. This field combines precise surgical techniques with the artistry of facial aesthetics, addressing conditions that range from functional impairments to cosmetic concerns.

Common Conditions Treated with Oculoplastic Surgery
Abnormalities of the Eyelids
Eyelid abnormalities can impact vision, comfort, and appearance. Common conditions include:
- Ptosis (Drooping Eyelids): This condition occurs when the eyelid droops, partially or fully obstructing vision.
- Entropion (Inward-turning eyelid): This causes discomfort as the lashes rub against the eye.
- Ectropion (Outward-turning Eyelid): This exposes the inner eyelid, leading to irritation and dryness.
Our oculoplastic surgery experts use advanced techniques to correct these abnormalities and restore normal eyelid function and appearance.
Watering Eyes
Excessive tearing, often due to a blocked tear drainage system, can be effectively treated through a targeted oculoplasty procedure. These procedures are minimally invasive and provide relief by restoring proper tear drainage.
Asymmetry of the Eyes
Conditions such as thyroid dysfunction can cause one or both eyes to bulge or create an asymmetrical appearance. Our specialists offer both medical and surgical options to address thyroid-related eye issues, improving symmetry and functionality.
Eye Loss and Socket Rehabilitation
Trauma or surgery may result in the loss of an eye, which can be both physically and emotionally challenging. Through socket reconstruction and custom-made prosthetic eyes, our oculoplastic services help patients regain confidence and restore facial harmony.
Cosmetic Concerns
For those seeking cosmetic eye surgery, we provide solutions that rejuvenate the eyes and surrounding areas. Popular procedures include Botox treatments, eyelid lifts, and facial rejuvenation to reduce the appearance of ageing or fatigue.
Who Requires Oculoplasty?
Functional Issues
Patients experiencing discomfort, impaired vision, or structural issues such as drooping eyelids, blocked tear ducts, or excessive tearing can benefit from oculoplastic surgery. These conditions can impact daily life, and timely intervention ensures improved quality of vision and comfort.
Aesthetic Concerns
Cosmetic improvements to the eyes are another key aspect of oculoplasty. Individuals looking to rejuvenate tired or aged eyes through treatments such as eyelid lifts or Botox injections can achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Our team specialises in blending aesthetics with natural-looking results.
Trauma and Reconstruction
Accidents or surgeries for conditions like eye cancer can result in damage to the surrounding eye structures. Oculoplastic surgery plays a vital role in reconstructing these areas, restoring both appearance and functionality.
