Oculoplasty
Eyelid and orbital surgery for function and aesthetics.
About this Condition
Oculoplastic surgery involves the eyelids, orbit (eye socket), lacrimal (tear drainage) system, and periocular tissues. Our oculoplastics service treats functional and cosmetic conditions including ptosis (drooping eyelid), ectropion, entropion, eyelid tumours, thyroid eye disease, orbital fractures, and watering eyes (DCR surgery). Both surgical and minimally invasive approaches are available.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is ptosis surgery safe?
Yes. Ptosis surgery is a well-established procedure with excellent outcomes. It is typically performed under local anaesthesia and takes 30–60 minutes.
What is DCR surgery?
Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) creates a new drainage pathway for tears when the natural nasolacrimal duct is blocked. It can be performed endoscopically (no skin incision).
