Oculoplastics

What Is Oculoplastics?

Oculoplastics focuses on the structures surrounding the eye rather than the eye itself. Since eyelid and tear duct problems can affect both how your eyes look and how well they work. Our surgeons combine ophthalmology training with reconstructive and cosmetic expertise, so care stays safe this close to the eye.

Conditions We Treat

• Ptosis – a drooping eyelid that can also block vision
• Excess eyelid skin (dermatochalasis) – sagging skin that hoods the eyes
• Entropion & ectropion – eyelids that turn inward or outward
• Blepharospasm – involuntary eyelid twitching or spasms
• Blocked tear ducts – causing chronic tearing or infections
• Orbital fractures – injury to the bones around the eye
• Eyelid growth and skin cancers – including basal cell carcinoma

When To See A Specialist

Talk to us if you noticed a drooping eyelid, sagging or irritated skin around the eyes, chronic tear, a new or changing growth, bulging eyes, ongoing twitching, or pain and swelling after injury.

How We Treat It

Treatment will depend on your specific condition and how it’s affecting your vision of comfort. Your surgical team will discuss treatment options with you at your consultation:

• Blepheroplasty – removes excess eyelid skin to restore vision and refresh appearance
• Ptosis repair – tightens or repositions the eyelid-lifting muscle
• Eyelid malposition surgery – corrects entropion or ectropion
• Tear duct surgery – reopens or bypasses a blocked drainage system
• Orbital reconstruction – repairs fractures around the eye
• Eyelid lesion removal – safely removes growths while preserving eyelid function

Why Choose Texan Eye

The eyelids sit close to the eye itself, so this kind of care calls for a surgeon who understands both function and appearance. Our board-certified oculoplastic surgeon is trained in reconstructive surgery, so you get care that protects your vision first, with a natural-looking result.
