OCCULOPLASTY & ORBIT
Oculoplasty and Orbit is a discipline in ophthalmology that deals with plastic and reconstructive surgery around the eyeball, including the eyelids, orbit and lacrimal system.The eyeball is a delicate structure, protected from harm by eyelids in front and the bony cup (socket) behind. Behind the eyeball run the nerves, arteries and muscles, which carry messages to the brain, move the eyeball, and provide nutrition to the eye. Oculoplasty deals with all these structures surrounding the eyeball.Most of the oculoplastic conditions need surgical correction. One important indication is cosmetic, but many times these may be vision or sometimes even life threatening.
