Oculoplasty
Oculoplasty (Eye Plastic Surgery) in Bangalore
Oculoplasty procedures improve both eyelid function and appearance through precise surgical care.
Oculoplasty, also known as ophthalmic plastic surgery, focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the eyelids, tear ducts, orbit (eye socket), and surrounding facial structures.
These procedures may be performed for functional, reconstructive, or cosmetic purposes, helping improve both vision and appearance.
At Samyak Drishti Eye Hospital in South Bangalore, oculoplasty services include advanced surgical and non-surgical treatments for eyelid disorders, tear duct problems, and periocular conditions.
What is Oculoplasty?
Oculoplasty is a specialized branch of ophthalmology that deals with:
- eyelid abnormalities
- tear drainage system disorders
- orbital (eye socket) diseases
- facial aesthetic procedures around the eyes
Oculoplastic procedures can help:
- restore normal eyelid function
- improve vision blocked by drooping eyelids
- treat excessive tearing
- enhance cosmetic appearance
Conditions Treated in Oculoplasty
Oculoplasty covers a wide range of conditions affecting the eyes and surrounding structures.
Ptosis (Drooping Eyelid)
Ptosis occurs when the upper eyelid droops and may partially or completely block vision.
Treatment involves ptosis correction surgery to lift the eyelid and restore normal vision.
Dermatochalasis (Excess Eyelid Skin)
Blepharoplasty removes excess eyelid skin to improve vision and appearance.
Excess skin over the eyelids can cause:
- heaviness of eyelids
- reduced field of vision
- cosmetic concerns
This condition can be treated with blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery).
Watery Eyes (Epiphora)
Tear duct surgery helps restore normal drainage and relieve watery eyes.
Persistent watering of the eyes may be caused by blocked tear ducts.
Treatment may involve procedures such as DCR (dacryocystorhinostomy) to restore tear drainage.
Eyelid Malpositions
Conditions such as:
- entropion (inward turning eyelid)
- ectropion (outward turning eyelid)
can cause irritation and damage to the eye.
Surgical correction helps restore proper eyelid position.
Orbital Disorders
Oculoplasty also manages conditions involving the eye socket, including:
- orbital infections
- tumors
- trauma-related injuries
Symptoms That May Require Oculoplasty Evaluation
You should consult an oculoplasty specialist if you experience:
- drooping eyelids affecting vision
- excessive tearing
- eyelid swelling or lumps
- difficulty closing eyes
- irritation due to eyelid position
- cosmetic concerns around the eyes
Early evaluation helps prevent complications and improves outcomes.
Diagnostic Evaluation in Oculoplasty
Accurate diagnosis is essential for planning treatment.
Evaluation may include:
- detailed eyelid examination
- tear drainage assessment
- imaging (if required)
- vision testing
- facial structure analysis
These assessments help determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
