Oculoplasty: Purvanchal Netralaya & Retina Care Center.
Oculoplasty, also known as ophthalmic plastic surgery, is a specialized branch of ophthalmology that focuses on the health and appearance of the eyelids, tear ducts, and the structures surrounding the eyes. At Purvanchal Netralaya & Retina Care Center, our Oculoplasty services aim to address both functional and cosmetic concerns related to these delicate structures, helping patients achieve optimal eye health and a natural, rejuvenated look.
The eye area is sensitive, and conditions affecting it can impact not only one’s vision but also their quality of life and self-confidence. Our center provides comprehensive care for a range of issues, from common conditions like drooping eyelids (ptosis) and blocked tear ducts, to more complex cases involving tumors, trauma, and deformities. Oculoplasty procedures are often recommended for both medical and aesthetic reasons, as certain conditions can obstruct vision, cause discomfort, or lead to infections.
Some of the common procedures we perform include:
1. Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty): This procedure corrects drooping upper eyelids and puffiness under the eyes, which may develop with age or due to genetic factors. It can improve vision by removing excess skin or tissue that interferes with sight.
2. Tear Duct Surgery (Dacryocystorhinostomy or DCR): For those experiencing chronic tearing or infections due to blocked tear ducts, our DCR procedure creates a new tear drainage pathway, relieving symptoms and enhancing comfort.
3. Orbital Surgery: The eye socket or orbit can sometimes develop issues such as fractures, tumors, or thyroid eye disease, which may require surgical intervention to restore function and appearance.
4. Ptosis Repair: Ptosis, or drooping of the upper eyelid, can affect one or both eyes, impacting vision and aesthetics. Our skilled surgeons perform ptosis repair to elevate the eyelid, improving the field of vision and providing a more alert, youthful appearance.
5. Aesthetic Oculoplasty: In addition to functional corrections, we also offer cosmetic procedures around the eye area to enhance appearance, such as Botox, fillers, and skin rejuvenation treatments.
