Oculoplastics and Orbit Surgery

Oculoplastics and orbit surgery are specialized areas within ophthalmology that focus on the eyes and the surrounding structures. Oculoplastics involves cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, such as eyelid surgery to correct droopy eyelids or remove tumors. Orbit surgery addresses issues in the bony cavity around the eye, including trauma, tumors, or thyroid eye disease. These fields aim to improve function and appearance while ensuring the health of the eye and its surrounding tissues. Specialists in this area are trained to handle both aesthetic concerns and more complex medical conditions related to the eyes and orbits.
