Oculoplastic and oncology are specialised fields within ophthalmology that focus on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of conditions affecting the eyes and surrounding structures.
Oculoplastic surgery involves both functional and cosmetic procedures related to the eyelids, tear ducts, orbit (eye socket), and facial structures around the eyes. This includes treating droopy eyelids (ptosis), repairing damage from trauma, correcting tear duct obstructions, and addressing aesthetic concerns.
Ocular oncology specialises in diagnosing and treating eye tumours, including melanoma, retinoblastoma, and lymphoma, which can affect vision and overall health. Early detection and treatment are crucial for preserving eyesight and preventing the spread of cancer. Together, these fields play a vital role in maintaining eye health, function, and appearance.
