Treatments Offered By Oculoplastic Surgeons
Understanding the various treatments by the area or structure rather than individually will help create a clearer idea of what you can expect from your oculoplastic or ophthalmic plastic surgery.
Eyelid Treatments
The eyelids are essential to protect your eye. They keep the cornea (the eye’s surface) moist by spreading the tear film evenly across it. Thus, eyelid malfunctioning can result in permanent damage to the cornea unless treated by an oculoplastic surgeon.
Leading ophthalmologists offer the following treatments for eyelid dysfunctions:
Eyelid dysfunctions require specialised treatment depending on cause and severity. Dr Gupta carefully analyses and diagnoses the problem accurately before proceeding with the appropriate treatment path.
Lacrimal System Treatments
The lacrimal system refers to the tear ducts. The most common complication associated with this is watery eyes or epiphora. Epiphora happens due to blocked tear ducts or tear overproduction.
