Ophthalmic
Plastic Surgery and Orbit Overview
The
word "plastic" is derived from a Greek word that means to "mold"
or to "give form". Plastic surgery molds or reconstructs parts of the
human body. Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery is a specialized area of ophthalmology
that deals with the management of cosmetic and functional deformities and abnormalities
of the eyelids, lacrimal system, orbit and periocular region.
An
ophthalmic plastic surgeon is an ophthalmologist who has completed specialized
training in plastic surgery as it relates to the eyes and their surrounding structures.
Since such surgery can affect one's ability to see, an ophthalmic plastic surgeon
is best qualified to perform this delicate surgery and also provide any care that
the eye itself may need. The department
of Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery, Orbit at the LV Prasad Eye Institute is well equipped
with state-of-the-art diagnostic and therapeutic facilities. The faculty comprises
of a team of well-trained oculoplastic and orbital surgeons an ophthalmic pathologist,
aided by a team of otorhinolaryngologist, neurosurgeon, head-and-neck surgeon,
general plastic surgeon and maxillofacial surgeon for comprehensive multidisciplinary
approach. Top Facilities:
