SQUINT & OCULOPLASTY

The adjustment of the muscles of the eye to correctly align the eyes is the most common eye operation performed in children. Eyes can be straightened virtually at any age- from as early as 4-5 months and whenever necessary in adulthood. A squint operation may take from 15-40 minutes. The procedure is relatively straightforward and the results are good and nearly perfect. In most patients there is an 80-90% chance of the eyes being correctly aligned postoperatively. This is also a day care procedure and can be done under general anaesthesia if required.
All types of Oculoplastic Surgeries like Ptosis, Entropion, Ectropion, eye lid tumours are undertaken here with excellent results.
