Eyelid, tear duct and orbit problems
Oculoplasty is the branch of eye surgery for the eyelids, tear drainage and the socket around the eye. At Spectra Eye Hospital these problems are seen by the oculoplasty specialist, with Dr. Das's team handling the first examination.

What is treated
- Ptosis (droopy upper eyelid): from age, contact-lens wear, or from birth in children, where it can block vision and must be checked early
- Watering eye from a blocked tear duct: in babies it often opens by itself with massage; in adults it may need a DCR operation to make a new drainage path
- Chalazion and stye: a stye is an infected gland; a chalazion is a firm, painless lump that may need a small incision if warm compresses fail
- Eyelids turning in or out (entropion, ectropion): lashes rubbing the eye, or a lid sagging away
- Eyelid lumps: most are harmless, but any lump that bleeds, grows or loses lashes should be examined
- Prosthetic eyes after loss of an eye
The first visit
The lids, tear drainage and eye surface are examined, and tear ducts may be gently flushed with saline to check for blockage. If surgery is needed, the oculoplasty specialist explains the operation and gives a written estimate. Call +91 98308 73460 to book.
Questions
Is a watering eye serious?
Usually not, but it is annoying and can lead to infection. A blocked duct can be fixed.
Will a chalazion go away by itself?
Many do with warm compresses over a few weeks. Ones that persist are removed through a tiny cut on the inside of the lid.
