What Does Eyelid Surgery Treat?

Function, protection and harmony for your eyes

Eyelid surgery, or oculoplastic surgery, can treat conditions that make it difficult to open or close the eyes, cause rubbing, pain or watering, or affect the ocular surface and vision. These include drooping eyelids, entropion, misdirected eyelashes and certain eyelid lesions.

It also includes cosmetic procedures such as blepharoplasty to reduce excess eyelid skin or under-eye bags. We assess every case individually and clearly explain the available options, their benefits and realistic treatment expectations.

Which conditions can eyelid surgery treat?

It can correct conditions such as drooping, inward- or outward-turning eyelids, eyelashes that rub against the eye, excess skin and under-eye bags. It may also include the assessment and removal of certain eyelid lesions.

Is eyelid surgery purely cosmetic?

No. Some procedures improve the appearance of the eyes, while others restore eyelid opening or closure, protect the ocular surface and prevent the eyelid from restricting the visual field. In some cases, both functional and cosmetic concerns can be addressed together.

Is surgery always necessary?

Not necessarily. We first assess the cause and severity of the problem to determine whether monitoring, medical treatment, a minor procedure or surgery is appropriate. We explain the available options clearly so that you can make an informed decision without pressure.

How is the most appropriate type of surgery decided?

The choice depends on eyelid position and movement, the ability to open and close the eyes, the condition of the ocular surface and each patient’s symptoms. We also consider your functional and cosmetic expectations when recommending a personalised solution.

What does follow-up involve after the procedure?

Follow-up is tailored to the procedure and each patient’s recovery. We explain the aftercare, warning signs to watch for and the appointments required, with the same specialist providing continuity throughout the process.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tanto mi padre como yo hemos sido pacientes de este centro, y no podemos estar más contentos y agradecidos por el trato y el cuidado que nos han dado todos sus trabajadores, desde recepción hasta consulta. En su caso, fue por una catarata extraña que le creció muy rápidamente, y que los doctores le operaron con un resultado totalmente satisfactorio. En mi caso, pedí cita por una sensación extraña que tenía en un ojo. Me hicieron hueco para esa misma tarde, me revisaron todo en profundidad y me lo solucionaron ahí mismo con una pequeña intervención. Además, me explicaron todo a la perfección y me hicieron sentir muy cómoda y tranquila desde el principio. De verdad, si tenéis algún tipo de urgencia o de necesidad relacionada con este campo de la oftalmología, no dudéis en pedir cita aquí.
