Eyelid, Tear Duct and Orbital Care

Oculoplastic surgery treats medical and cosmetic concerns around the eyes, including eyelid problems, tear drainage issues, orbital conditions and reconstructive needs.
Oculoplastic surgery is a specialized branch of eye care focused on the structures around the eyes, including the eyelids, tear drainage system, orbit, and surrounding facial tissues.
It combines ophthalmic surgery with reconstructive and cosmetic techniques. The goal may be to improve comfort, protect the eye, restore normal function, improve appearance, or address both medical and aesthetic concerns together.
Because these areas contain delicate eye and facial structures, oculoplastic care requires a detailed understanding of eye health, facial anatomy, healing, and visual safety.
Eyelid conditions may be present from birth, develop with age, follow injury, or occur because of other health problems. Treatment is planned with both vision and appearance in mind.
The orbit is the bony socket around the eye. Orbital problems can affect eye position, comfort, movement, appearance, and sometimes vision.
Tear drainage problems can cause persistent watering, discharge, irritation, or repeated infections. A detailed evaluation helps identify whether the issue is blockage, narrowing, malposition, trauma, or another cause.
Cosmetic oculoplastic surgery addresses concerns around the eyelids, under-eye area, and nearby facial features while protecting eye comfort and function. The aim is natural-looking improvement rather than an overdone result.
Kenia Eye Hospital provides oculoplastic care for children and adults with conditions affecting the eyelids, tear ducts, orbit, and surrounding tissues. Each case is assessed individually so the treatment plan fits the patient's symptoms, eye health, and goals.
When needed, care is coordinated with related specialties such as dermatology, plastic surgery, ENT, endocrinology, radiology, neurosurgery, and ophthalmology to support a more complete treatment plan.
