Oculoplastics

What is oculoplastics?

Oculoplastics is an ophthalmology subspecialty focused on the structures that surround and protect the eye, including the eyelids, the orbit and the lacrimal system.

A problem in these areas can affect not only how the eyes look, but also their protection, lubrication, mobility and function.

That is why oculoplastics combines ophthalmic knowledge with specialized functional and reconstructive procedures.

Oculoplastics, Orbit and Lacrimal System

Which conditions may need an evaluation?

An oculoplastics consultation may be necessary in situations such as:

  • Drooping eyelids that interfere with vision.
  • Eyelids in an abnormal position.
  • Constant tearing.
  • Blockages or disorders of the lacrimal system.
  • Lesions or changes around the eyelids.
  • Disorders of the orbit.
  • Functional changes caused by trauma.
  • Reconstructive needs around the eye.
  • Situations that require an evaluation for ocular prostheses.

Some conditions may look purely cosmetic at first, but they can also have functional consequences. For example, an incorrect eyelid position can compromise the protection of the ocular surface and cause irritation, exposure or tearing.

A specialized approach

The goal is to assess not only how the area around your eyes looks, but how it is working.

Clínica 20/20 has Dr. Sergio Hernández, who holds subspecialty training in Oculoplastics, Orbit, Lacrimal System and Ocular Prostheses.

Each treatment is determined after evaluating the patient's anatomy, function, symptoms and particular needs.

Your eyelids and lacrimal system are also part of your eye health.

If you have discomfort, changes in the position of your eyelids, persistent tearing or any other problem around your eyes, book a specialized evaluation.
