What is ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery?
Ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery is the management of deformities and abnormalities of the eyelids, lacrimal (tear production and drainage) system and eye sockets. Ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery requires the expertise and experience of ophthalmologists who are both medical doctors and competent eye surgeons.
