Main functional problems that oculoplasty solves
Eyelid and tear pathologies. In all oculoplasty or ocular plastic surgery treatments, the aesthetic improvement of the patient is sought and, more importantly, the recovery of the function of the eye and the adjoining structures through the most appropriate surgical or therapeutic solution in each case.
Pathologies of the
EYELIDS
Although the eyelids are not part of the eyeball, they play an important role in the vision system as they fulfil various functions: protecting the eye, a particularly sensitive organ, maintaining the tear film, which is continuously replenished by blinking, distributing the tear evenly over the entire ocular surface, and helping to fall asleep. In fact, thanks to the reflex act of closing the eyes, the eyelids prevent information from the outside from disturbing rest.
Diseases of the
TEAR DUCTS
The tear ducts are the drainage system of the tear, that is, its natural exit to the outside of the eye.
The tear film on the surface of the eyes is an indispensable component for the maintenance of vision. If there is an alteration in the tear film, patients mainly suffer from tearing, but also burning, irritation or even blurred vision.
Diseases of the
EYE SOCKET
Diseases of the eye socket can be several and are generally related to other types of diseases at a general level, such as neologic diseases, thyroid problems, tumours, etc.
In any case, the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions will require the care of a specialised ophthalmologist.
