Ocularplastic surgery is often required for disorders and reconstruction required of the tissues around the eye. It is often needed for ectropion (where the lower eyelid turns outward), entropion (where the eyelid turns inward and rubs on the eye), excessive eyelid skin, and where large areas of skin near the eye need to be excised due to tumours or lesions. Ocularplastic surgery is performed on the orbit, eyelids, tear ducts and the face.
Dr Mike Haybittel and Dr Rob McKay have a special interest in this surgery.
