Oculoplasty & Ocular Oncology

Superspeciality Care

What are Oculofacial Surgeries and Eyelid Abnormalities?

Oculoplastic surgery encompasses reconstructive and aesthetic procedures on the eyelids, orbit, and tear ducts. Conditions like ptosis (drooping eyelids), ectropion, and entropion impair vision and corneal health.

Dr. Pooja Y. Patel (Aravind Eye Hospital Fellow) specializes in restorative levator resection and cosmetic blepharoplasty with hidden incisions.


How to Treat Eyelid Margin and Skin Disorders?

Conditions such as recurrent chalazia (styes), blepharitis, xanthelasma (cholesterol deposits), and trichiasis (inward-turning eyelashes) require delicate microsurgical and clinical management.

We deliver precise radiofrequency excisions, epilation, and eyelid hygiene regimens to restore lid contour and comfort.


What are Lacrimal or Tear Duct Disorders?

Chronic tearing (epiphora) and recurrent pus discharge are common signs of nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) in both newborns and adults.

We perform minimally invasive Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) and pediatric lacrimal probing, creating a new drainage pathway with no visible facial scars.


What is Ocular and Orbital Oncology?

Ocular oncology focuses on diagnosing and treating tumors affecting the eyelids, conjunctiva, orbit, and intraocular structures.

Dr. Pooja Y. Patel coordinates complete histological resection, cryotherapy, and aesthetic reconstruction for ocular tumors with optimal survival and vision preservation.

Frontalis Suspension Sling: Full cashless approval for congenital amblyogenic ptosis and field restriction

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Ptosis surgery qualify for cashless insurance coverage?
Yes. When drooping eyelids cover 30% or more of the pupil or obstruct peripheral vision, surgery is medically necessary and approved by insurers with clinical visual field documentation.
Will there be visible scars on my face after eyelid or DCR surgery?
Our surgical incisions are concealed within the natural eyelid creases or handled via endonasal routes, leaving virtually invisible marks once fully healed.
What causes chronic watering eyes in adults and children?
Chronic watering is most often caused by a blocked tear drainage duct (NLDO) or eyelid malposition, which can be permanently rectified with a minor probing or DCR procedure.
