Orbit and Oculoplasty

Eye care hospital in Yeshwanthpur, Bangalore

Orbit and oculoplastic are two surgical subspecialties within ophthalmology. Orbit surgery involves procedures on the bones and tissues surrounding the eye, while oculoplastic surgery focuses on the eyelids, lacrimal (tear) ducts, and orbit. Orbit surgery is often performed to correct abnormalities of the eye socket, such as a sight-threatening condition called Graves’ disease, which can cause the eye to bulge out of the socket. Other common orbit surgeries include surgery to remove tumours or to correct a lazy eye. Oculoplastic surgery is performed to correct defects or abnormalities of the eyelids, lacrimal ducts, or orbit. Common oculoplastic procedures include eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), lacrimal duct surgery (dacryocystorhinostomy), and orbital surgery (decompression surgery). 

Pre-Procedure 

Pre-procedure for orbit and oculoplasty includes a few important steps. The first step is to consult with an experienced surgeon to learn about the risks and benefits of the procedure. It is important to have a complete understanding of the procedure before deciding. The second step is to have a complete physical examination by an ophthalmologist. This will help to identify any potential problems that could complicate the surgery. The third step is to have a complete eye examination, which will help the surgeon determine if the patient is a suitable candidate for the surgery. The fourth step is to have a complete medical history and physical examination by the surgeon. This will help to identify any medical conditions that could potentially complicate the surgery. The fifth step is to have a complete psychological evaluation by a qualified mental health professional. This will help to identify any psychological conditions that could potentially complicate the surgery. Visit Manipal Hospitals, the best ophthalmology hospital in Bangalore for treatment.

Procedure 

The orbit and oculoplasty procedures are typically performed to correct several different conditions that can affect the eyes and surrounding structures. These include conditions such as ptosis (drooping of the upper eyelid), entropion (inward turning of the eyelid), and ectropion (outward turning of the eyelid). The procedure can also be performed to correct certain birth defects, such as cleft eyelids. The first step of the orbit and oculoplasty procedure is to make an incision in the skin around the eye. The type of incision will depend on the specific condition being treated. Once the incision is made, the surgeon will then be able to access the underlying structures of the eye. The next step is to reposition the affected structures. This may involve correcting the position of the eyelid, repositioning the tear duct, or correcting the position of the eyeball itself. Once the structures have been repositioned, the surgeon will then close the incisions using stitches or skin adhesive. After the procedure is complete, the patient will usually be able to go home the same day. There may be some swelling and bruising around the eye, but this should resolve within a few days 

Post-Procedure 

After orbit and oculoplastic surgery, patients will need to take it easy and avoid strenuous activity for at least a week. During this time, patients will experience some bruising and swelling around the eyes and face, which is normal. To help reduce swelling, patients should sleep with their heads elevated on pillows and ice their faces for 20 minutes at a time, several times a day. Additionally, patients should avoid wearing makeup or glasses for at least a week after surgery. Book an appointment today for surgery.
