Adult Oculoplastics
The oculoplastics sub-specialty saves vision & saves lives. A significant portion of skin cancers occur around the eyelid region. Removal & skin cancers & restoration of the eyelid function & symmetry is one of the main reasons patients seek oculoplastics services. Other common conditions concerning the oculoplastic specialty include dermatochalasis (droopy eyelid skin) ptosis (droopy eyelid), nasolacrimal duct obstruction (watery eyes) & thyroid eye diseases

Paediatric Oculoplastics
Disease & alterations of the structures around the eyes may affect vision, either by direct occlusion or indirectly by affecting the tearing system, or (mis)alignment of the eyes. Children require special attention in oculoplastic assessment & management because the same processes leading to temporary vision impairment in adults may lead to permanent changes in childrens vision (amblyopia)
