Oculoplasty
What Is Oculoplasty?
Oculoplasty involves surgeries on the eyes and surrounding structures for cosmetic, corrective, or reconstructive purposes. Performed by specialized surgeons trained in both ophthalmology and plastic surgery, it enhances function and aesthetics. Prasad Netralaya Eye Hospital offers top oculoplastic expertise.

Oculoplastic surgeries at Prasad Netralaya range from fillers to artificial eyes, offering tailored solutions for various vision needs.
The following are the common conditions that can be treated with eye oculoplasty:
- Drooping of upper eyelids
- Inversion or eversion of eyelid margins
- Trichiasis and distichiasis (abnormally positioned eye-lashes)
- Thyroid eye disease (inflammation, bulging, impaired vision)
- Epiphora (tear drainage problems)
- Congenital deformities (abnormal eyelids gap/position, abnormal size/shape of orbits)
- Traumatic injuries ( loss of eyeball, eyelid injuries, orbital facial fractures, etc.)
