Ptosis (eyelid)

Ptosis repair -for laxity of the muscles of the upper eyelid causing visual impairment. Surgically shorten the levator muscle or connect the lid to the muscles of the eyebrow.

Enucleation

Enucleation refers to the surgical removal of an eye. This procedure is generally recommended only when there is no other choice. Enucleation is usually performed for several different reasons: to remove a malignant tumor that has developed within the eye; to alleviate intolerable pain in a blind eye affected by a condition such as uncontrollable glaucoma; or to reduce the risk of "sympathetic" inflammation of the remaining eye when one eye has been severely injured and blinded.

Dacryocystorhinostomy

Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is a surgical procedure to restore the flow of tears into the nose from the lacrimal sac when the nasolacrimal duct does not function. A small incision is made on the side of the nose and some bone is removed to make a connection to the nose. Drains are left behind to prevent the gap from closing and are removed after a few months. A Jones or Crawford Tube is placed to facilitate the flow of tears from the eye to the nose.

Entropian Repair

An entropion is an inwardly turned (inverted) eyelid. The condition occurs primarily as a result of advancing age with consequent weakening of certain eyelid muscles. The imbalance between eyelid muscle groups results in the inward turning of the eyelid. This condition most often affects the lower eyelids, but may also affect the upper eyelids.  Entropion repair may be completed with a variety of procedures. Most cases are completed with an incision in the outer corner of the eye to tighten the lower eyelid.  

Ectropian Repair

An ectropion is an outwardly turned (everted) eyelid. The condition most often is associated with aging, though it may also occur congenitally, as a result of scarring or other surgeries, or secondary to facial nerve paralysis (Bell's palsy). If not repaired, the condition may lead to thickening of the surface on the inside of the eyelid, inflammation, and cause danger to the health of the eye itself.
