Ectropion repair

It is a condition when the eyelid turns outward. It makes the eyes dry and can lead to irritation, redness, and pain.

Entropion repair

Eyelid growth and cancers

Exposure to the sun can cause very common skin cancer of the eyelids. The surgeon can remove the tumour and perform reconstruction of the eyelid.

Tearing disorders

Excessive tearing or reduced tearing can occur due to dryness or obstruction of the outflow of tears. If a lacrimal gland does not produce enough tears, it can cause dryness of the eyes. Sometimes, obstruction to the outflow of tears can also cause problems. Therefore, the drainage system has to be corrected or the system has to be bypassed to make a new drainage path for the tears.

Orbital surgery

Orbital surgery may be required for managing eye disorders, tumours, and injuries due to trauma.

Most oculoplastic surgeries can be done in the outpatient department which means you can go back home the same day. Recovery is also very quick.
