Oculoplasty

Oculoplasty

Oculoplasty, also known as ophthalmic plastic surgery, is a specialized branch of eye care that focuses on the structures around the eyes, including the eyelids, tear ducts, and orbit (the bony cavity that houses the eye). It is performed for both medical and cosmetic reasons—such as correcting droopy eyelids (ptosis), repairing injuries, removing tumors, treating excessive tearing, or improving the appearance of the eyes and surrounding area. At Dr. Praveen Eye Hospital and Research Centre, our oculoplasty services combine advanced surgical techniques with precision and care to restore function, protect eye health, and enhance appearance, ensuring patients receive both medical and aesthetic benefits.
