The Center for Oculoplastic and Orbital Surgery at the Institute for Advanced Reconstruction treats various eye conditions ranging from cosmetic concerns to complex problems requiring advanced procedures. Our reconstructive surgeons specializing in orbital surgery have advanced training in this area, using this extensive knowledge to deliver functional and beautifully aesthetic results.
While oculoplastic and orbital surgery can improve the appearance of the eyes, the procedures also address functional concerns such as vision obstruction due to eyelid abnormalities or degenerative eye diseases, significantly enhancing vision-related problems as well as relieving discomfort.
The Distinguished Center for Oculoplastic and Orbital Surgery
Overview
Helping Patients Manage Complex Eye Conditions
Our surgeons have advanced specialized training, allowing them to treat complex conditions that general ophthalmologists cannot. Providing intricate reconstructive and rehabilitation services in addition to medical management of symptoms and standard procedures, we restore form and function for optimal patient quality of life. We offer treatment for many different eye conditions, including:
- Graves’ Ophthalmopathy: This disorder causes eye protrusion, bulging eyes, double vision, and other vision issues due to inflammation of orbital tissue associated with thyroid conditions.
- Neurotrophic Keratitis: This degenerative disease that damages the cornea can lead to corneal infection, ulceration, and perforation from impaired corneal sensitivity and healing.
- Blepharospasm and Facial Spasm: This condition causes involuntary contraction of the muscles controlling blinking and facial expression, resulting in recurrent uncontrolled eyelid closure and twitching facial movements.
- Eyelid Malpositions: This describes abnormal positioning of the upper or lower eyelids away from the eyeball due to laxity, scarring, paralysis, or congenital abnormalities, resulting in functional vision problems.
Diagnosing Oculoplastic and Orbital Conditions
Diagnosing conditions that need oculoplastic and orbital surgery can be challenging. Patients are often misdiagnosed or go through multiple doctors before finding the right specialist. At our Center, you get direct access to the top reconstructive eye surgeons so we can provide accurate diagnoses and customized treatment plans right from the start.
Our surgeons have the most advanced training and specialization in oculofacial plastic surgery, allowing them to diagnose even obscure conditions other providers may miss. We conduct comprehensive exams and utilize advanced imaging and tests as needed. Patients benefit from our academic approach rooted in research and data.
Once diagnosed, we develop targeted treatment plans customized to each patient’s unique anatomy and needs.
Benefits of Oculoplastic and Orbital Surgery
Oculoplastic and orbital surgery delivers immense benefits for both functional and cosmetic enhancement of your eyes and the surrounding structures. Discover the possibilities that advanced eye surgical procedures can provide.
Improve Vision
Oculoplastic procedures like eyelid surgery and orbital reconstruction can lift droopy lids out of the field of vision and position the eyeball for better vision.
Relieve Pain
Removal of eye tumors, infections, fractures, and cysts pressing on optic nerves and tissue alleviates pain, swelling, and inflammation.
Restore Functionality
Fixing contracted eye muscles or nerve damage enables normal eye movement and blinking.
Enhance Appearance
Eyelid surgery, brow lifts, and other enhancement procedures rejuvenate a tired, sagging, or aging appearance for a positive self-image boost.
Increase Confidence
Enhance your confidence with renewed aesthetics and improved vision.
Treating Complex Eye Conditions
Living with a complex eye condition can be uncomfortable and interfere with your daily living. We’re here to change that. Our doctors will take the time to understand your unique experience and tailor your treatment to your situation. We offer various surgical and nonsurgical approaches to treatment, including:
Orbital Decompression Surgery
Orbital decompression surgery involves removing excess fat from the orbital cavity and expanding the orbital wall to alleviate pressure and congestion in and around the eye and provide an aesthetic appearance.
Orbital (Eye Socket) Surgery
Our surgeons perform surgical procedures on the eye socket (orbit) to repair bone fractures or eye muscle issues causing eyeball displacement as well as tumors, infections, and cysts of the orbital tissue.
Eye Reconstruction
We offer advanced eye reconstruction procedures to repair or rebuild structures of the eye, such as the eyelid, tear ducts, or other tissues, restoring appearance and function after injury, trauma, tumors, congenital defects, and more.
Eyelid Surgery
Heavy, drooping upper eyelids or dark, puffy bags beneath the eyes can give an older, more tired appearance. With eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty, our surgeons remove excess skin and fat from the eyelids to restore a more youthful, alert appearance and improve vision if sagging eyelids interfere with sight.
Botox Injections
Temporarily paralyzing the eyelid muscles can prevent eyelid spasms and corneal abrasion.
