Oculoplastic surgery is a medical specialty within the branch of eye surgery. This means that oculoplastic surgeons are first and foremost eye specialists. After more than two years of subspecialty training, these experts dedicate themselves to operations of the structures around the eye, including the eyelids, tear-duct system, and orbit or eye socket. Oculoplastic surgeons are trained to perform intraocular surgery, that is, surgery of the eye itself, and surgery of the anatomical tissues around it. Procedures may be aesthetic, meaning they are intended to improve facial appearance, or reconstructive, to cure diseases such as skin cancer or lacrimal obstructions.<\/span><\/p>\n
