Orbit and Oculoplasty

Orbit and Oculoplasty sub-specialty deals with diseases of lacrimal system, lids, and orbit disorders, tumors in and around the eye.

The orbit clinic receives number of referrals of cases of common and uncommon orbital tumors, orbital inflammations and infections which are managed conservatively with medical management, chemotherapy, and surgically with the removal of the tumor via orbitotomy.

A large number of patients with thyroid-related orbitopathy are treated (in collaboration with the general physician) on a daily basis.

Nasolacrimal duct obstructions, both congenital and acquired, are routinely treated by us with probing, external/ endonasal dacryocysto rhinostomy. A number of patients are seen in the Oculoplasty clinic daily with a variety of eyelid disorders including malpositions (Ptosis, entropion, ectropion), benign and malignant eyelid tumors, facial dystonias etc.

Surgical corrections for ptosis, entropion, ectropion, eyelid reconstructions, post tumor removal, as well as number of cosmetic eyelid surgeries (e.g. Blepharoplasty) and injection of botulinum toxin (Botox) for facial dystonias and cosmetic indications are performed.
