Orbit and Oculoplasty
Orbit and Oculoplasty
Oculoplasty is a sub-speciality in ophthalmology that deals with problems related to the eyelids, lacrimal system, orbit and aesthetic lid
surgery.
Orbit refers to the eye socket i.e. the cavity in the skull that holds the eye and the surrounding structures. Orbit- related diseases or complications may arise from within the eye socket or may be due to some secondary condition arising out of any existing illness. Hence it deals with all these structures surrounding the eyeball.
Oculoplasty surgery is generally performed to improve function, comfort and appearance for the following eye conditions
- Eyelid Malposition
- Skin Cancers of the Eyelid
- Tear Drainage Problems
- Problems of the Orbit (eye socket)
- Eyebrow Problems
Symptoms that may lead to Oculoplasty surgery?
Although an ophthalmologist is the best person to suggest surgery we can list down the following symptoms that a patient may experience which might lead to oculoplastic:
- Very frequent blinking of eyes
- drooping of eyelids (Ptosis)
- Eyelids turning in or out (Entropion/Ectropion)
- NLD Blocks or Blocked Tear Ducts
- Twitching of eyes
- Bulging eyes, Wrinkles, scars or folds around the eyes
- Tumours growing inside or around the eye
- Blepharoplasty or excessive fat in eyelids
- Absence of an eye
- Tumours in the orbit region
Treatments
Treatment for orbit or eye lid related problems varies from patient to patient depending on their requirement, age, job profile, skin type, etc.
It depends on the ophthalmologist to prescribe whether a patient would benefit the most from a surgical or a non surgical mode of therapy. These depend totally on a thorough evaluation of various factors.
