It deals with many conditions as follows |
|
|
Lid deformities or Malposition
|
|
Lid position is important not only for cosmetic purpose but also for proper corneal health and function. If lids are deformed, there can be watering, foreign body sensation and even corneal opacification. There may be in turning of lid margin known as Entropion or there may be out turning of lid margin known as Ectropion. Even there may be misdirected eye lashes rubbing against cornea known as trichiasis.all these need surgical correction which is easy and rewarding

Ptosis or drooping lid |
|
Mostly it is a birth defect. In few cases it may occur due to injuries or old age. In case of a child, it is better that child is seen by Ophthalmologist (Eye specialist)and it is decided when to correct it. We follow following strategy. If child can see with affected eye clearly and comfortably without bending neck, we wait till 5 yrs of age. If not then we operate soon, least child may have permanent vision defect. In a given case we select appropriate type of surgical procedure. There are muscle resection procedures or silicone sling procedures. Results are usually very satisfying. We may mention that only Oculoplasty surgeon and not any one of general plastic surgeons is the best to do it.

Lid Injuries or Lid Tumors |
|
If not repaired properly, it may result into deformed and ill functioning lid. Oculoplasty surgeon can do the job best way.

Lid tumors |

It needs plastic surgery in form of a ball implant or other option, to give long time good results.
