Oculoplastic Surgery
Overview
The Oculoplastic Surgery Unit is a super-specialized branch of ophthalmology that focuses on the diagnosis and surgical management of disorders affecting the eyelids, tear ducts, orbit (eye socket), and surrounding facial structures. The unit bridges both functional and cosmetic aspects, ensuring restoration of vision, eye protection, and aesthetic harmony. Our oculoplastic surgeons are trained to handle delicate procedures involving both reconstructive and cosmetic techniques, with a commitment to patient safety and visual outcomes.
