Your eyes not only define your vision but also your appearance. Sometimes, medical conditions, injuries, or aging can affect the eyelids, tear ducts, or surrounding tissues of the eyes. Oculoplasty (Oculoplastic Surgery) is a specialized branch of ophthalmology that deals with both functional and cosmetic problems around the eyes.
At Curis Life Multispecialty Clinic in Andheri West, our expert ophthalmologists and oculoplastic surgeons provide safe and effective solutions for eyelid disorders, eye tumors, eye bags, droopy eyelids (ptosis), blocked tear ducts, and cosmetic eye surgeries. Whether you need reconstructive surgery or aesthetic enhancement, Curis Life ensures world-class care with advanced techniques.
What is Oculoplastic Surgery?
Oculoplasty is a surgical subspecialty of ophthalmology that focuses on the structures around the eye, including:
- Eyelids
- Tear ducts
- Orbit (bony cavity around the eye)
- Eyebrows and surrounding tissues
It covers both reconstructive procedures (to restore function and correct abnormalities) and cosmetic procedures (to enhance appearance).
Conditions Treated by Oculoplasty
Oculoplasty is recommended for patients with the following conditions:
- Ptosis (Droopy Eyelid): Correcting upper eyelids that droop and obstruct vision.
- Eyelid Malpositions: Entropion (inward turning of eyelid), Ectropion (outward turning).
- Tear Duct Disorders: Blocked tear ducts causing watery eyes or infections.
- Eye Tumors & Growths: Removal of benign or malignant lesions around the eyes.
- Eye Bags & Puffiness: Cosmetic eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) to remove excess fat and skin.
- Trauma Repair: Reconstructing eyelids or orbit after accidents or injuries.
- Orbital Surgery: Managing thyroid eye disease, fractures, or orbital tumors.
- Cosmetic Eye Enhancements: Eyelid lift, wrinkle reduction, and aesthetic corrections.
Symptoms That May Require Oculoplasty
You may need an oculoplasty evaluation if you notice:
- Drooping eyelids affecting vision
- Redness, swelling, or tumors around the eyes
- Constant watery eyes or frequent eye infections
- Difficulty closing eyes completely
- Excessive eye bags or sagging eyelids due to aging
- Cosmetic concerns about eyelid or orbital appearance
Causes and Risk Factors
Some common causes that may lead to oculoplastic surgery include:
- Aging (loose skin, drooping eyelids, eye bags)
- Birth defects (congenital ptosis or tear duct blockage)
- Trauma or injury to the face/eyes
- Chronic eye infections or inflammation
- Thyroid eye disease
- Benign or malignant tumors around the eyes
Diagnosis Before Oculoplasty
At Curis Life in Andheri West, our ophthalmologists use a combination of diagnostic methods:
- Comprehensive eye exam – To assess vision and eyelid function.
- Slit lamp examination – For detailed view of eyelid and surrounding tissues.
- Imaging tests (CT/MRI/Ultrasound) – If orbital or tumor involvement is suspected.
- Tear duct evaluation – To check for blockages or narrowing.
This ensures a personalized treatment plan tailored to each patient’s needs.
