Oculoplasty Oncology

What is Oculoplasty Oncology?

Oculoplasty, also known as Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery, is a specialized branch of ophthalmology that deals with the cosmetic, functional, and reconstructive surgery of the structures around the eye, such as the eyelids, tear ducts, and orbit (eye socket).

Ocular Oncology involves the diagnosis and treatment of eye cancers — both benign and malignant — affecting the eyelid, conjunctiva, orbit, and intraocular tissues.

Causes of Oculoplasty Oncology:

 

  • Age-related changes (e.g., droopy eyelids, eye bags)

  • Birth defects (e.g., congenital ptosis, blocked tear ducts)

  • Trauma or facial injuries

  • Infections or inflammation

  • Facial nerve paralysis (e.g., Bell’s palsy)

  • Thyroid eye disease (Graves’ orbitopathy)
