Oculoplasty Treatment
Oculoplasty Treatment
Oculoplasty is a term that covers a variety of procedures that involve eyelids, eyebrows, orbits, tear ducts, and the face. Oculoplastic procedures involve both medically necessary procedures and cosmetic procedures.
The scope of Oculoplasty extends across a wide range of procedures from correcting droopy eyelids to fitting artificial eye prosthesis. Oculoplastic surgeries are carried out by specially trained surgeons and are often highly customized, based on the patient’s condition.

Myopia management
There are three specialized treatment options to slow the progression of myopia:
- Atropine eye drops
- Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
- Multifocal contact lenses
Benefits of Myopia Management with Contact Lenses
- Slowing Myopia Progression: Studies have shown that specialized contact lenses can reduce the progression of myopia by up to 50%.
- Improved Quality of Life: For children and adults alike, myopia management with contact lenses can mean less dependence on glasses and reduced risk of high myopia complications.
- Better Long-Term Vision Health: Controlling myopia progression can reduce the risk of severe eye issues in adulthood, safeguarding long-term vision health.
