RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY

Reconstructive eye surgery is multifaceted and involves the surgical and medical treatment of diseases and abnormalities of the eyelids, midface and orbit.  The conditions treated are diverse and can include single or multiple problems.  Orbital and eyelid injuries, tumors, developmental and congenital problems in children and adults and acquired diseases involving the eyelids and tearduct system and treatment of thyroid related eye disease comprise many of the diseases and abnormalities treated. 

As an ophthalmic plastic surgeons I believe that effective planning and sound decisions regarding the care of our patients is of paramount importance. Thorough and careful analysis of these conditions may require CT and MRI scanning and at times multispecialty consultation.

Our experience and comprehensive knowledge of the important structures in this area and their function and analyzing the unique findings in each patients results in appropriate and good "decision making”.

CONSULTATION

The choice of the "right surgical procedure or medical treatment” best preserves eye function and at times may save vision or prevent vision loss. Our purpose as eye reconstructive surgeons is directed to utilize our diagnostic and surgical skills, to improve function of the eyelids, to protect the eyes and repair structural and tissue abnormalities around the eyes.

In our practice care of patients involve comprehensive and clear discussion with our patients to define "what is possible and realistic.” We will always be sensitive as reconstructive eye surgeons to aesthetic issues while treating our patients.
