Oculoplastics, or oculoplastic surgery, includes a wide variety of surgical procedures that deal with the orbit (eye socket), eyelids, tear ducts, and the face.[1] It also deals with the reconstruction of the eye and associated structures.

Training

Oculoplastic surgeons (ophthalmic surgeons) are ophthalmologists (eye physicians) who complete 1–2 years of additional fellowship training following their ophthalmology residency. Members of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (ASOPRS) are the most highly qualified of oculoplastic surgeons in North America. To qualify, members must have passed their American Board of Ophthalmology (ABO) exams (be board certified) in addition to passing written and oral board examination through ASOPRS. There is an additional requirement of making a significant contribution to the field of oculoplastics, which may take the form of a peer-reviewed publication. Other types of surgeons may be trained in oculoplastic procedures, including plastic surgeons and otolaryngologists.

Oculoplastic procedures

Oculoplastic surgeons perform procedures such as the repair of droopy eyelids (blepharoplasty), repair of tear duct obstructions, orbital fracture repairs, removal of tumors in and around the eyes, eyelid reconstruction.

Eyelid surgery

An oculoplastic surgeon performing revisional eyelid surgery.

Entropion, ectropion, ptosis, and eyelid tumors are commonly treated by various forms of eyelid surgery.[2]

Surgery involving the lacrimal apparatus

Eye removal

    • An enucleation is the removal of the eye leaving the eye muscles and remaining orbital contents intact.[9]
    • An evisceration is the removal of the eye's contents, leaving the scleral shell intact. Usually performed to reduce pain in a blind eye.[10]
    • An exenteration is the removal of the entire orbital contents, including the eye, extraocular muscles, fat, and connective tissues; usually for malignant orbital tumors.[11]
