Oculoplastics is a field of ophthalmology that focuses on conditions affecting the areas connected to and around the eyes, including the eyelids, tear ducts, and the orbit (the bony socket that holds the eye). There are different reasons why you may need oculoplastic surgery. At Newmedica, we carry out these procedures for medical reasons. This can include procedures such as tear duct surgery to treat a blocked tear duct and eyelid surgery to remove excess fat or skin from the eyelid. Oculoplastic surgeons have high levels of expertise and skilled surgical precision to protect delicate areas and aesthetics around the eyes.
What to look for in an oculoplastic surgeon
After training to be an ophthalmologist, the standard path to becoming an oculoplastic surgeon is to complete a fellowship, which involves specialist training focused on oculoplastic surgery. Another indicator of strong clinical expertise is having experience with a range of oculoplastic treatments and familiarity with advanced technology. Choosing a surgeon who has performed a high volume of procedures can also provide peace of mind. A good oculoplastic surgeon will take the time to provide tailored care, explain your treatment options, understand your individual circumstances, and make sure you feel informed.
