Ophthalmology and Vision Science

Orbital, Oculoplastic, and Lacrimal Diseases

Oculoplastic and orbital surgery targets the structures around the eye, such as the eyelids, orbit (the bones of the eye socket), lacrimal system (the system of tear ducts), forehead, and midface region. The oculoplastic and orbital surgeons at UT Southwestern are skilled ophthalmologists with years of experience in the most recent plastic surgical techniques. Because surgery in these areas might influence vision, ophthalmic plastic surgeons are best suited to perform this sensitive operation. Our oculoplastic surgery staff offers both surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic operations to improve your appearance, in addition to treating diseases, disorders, and accidents affecting the eyes, eyelids, and surrounding structures. .  offers a thorough evaluation, medicinal and surgical therapy, and care for abnormalities of the eyelids, brows, tear duct, and diseases of the orbit, such as thyroid eye disease and traumatic "blowout" fractures of the orbit. This practise specialises in aesthetic surgery, which includes eyelid surgery, laser skin resurfacing for blemishes and wrinkles, and hair removal.
