SAY GOODBYE TO TIRED EYES
& DISTORTED VISION
Sometimes it's not just about how you see, but how others see you. When droopy eyelids, tear duct problems, or changes around your eyes affect the way you look, feel, or see, oculoplasty offers expert surgical care. It supports your eye activity, protects your vision, and helps you achieve a healthier, more refreshed appearance.
What Is Oculoplasty?
Oculoplasty is a specialized branch of eye surgery that treats conditions affecting the eyelids, tear ducts, and the area around the eyes, improving both function and appearance.
Aging, injury, or certain medical conditions can affect the tissues surrounding your eyes over time. Oculoplasty can help correct:
- Eyelid Conditions
- Tear Duct Disorders
- Orbital Diseases
- Signs of Aging
- Trauma Repair
- Congenital Deformities
At Amanat Eye Hospital, every treatment begins with a detailed consultation, since no two patients' anatomy or goals are alike.
Our oculoplastic surgeons use advanced techniques to recommend the safest, most effective path forward, whether that's ptosis repair, blepharoplasty, DCR surgery, lesion removal, orbital surgery, or cyst removal.
Why A Comprehensive Examination Is Important
Surgery is not the first step. Successful oculoplasty begins with a comprehensive examination.
The appearance of the eyelids doesn't tell the whole story. Conditions affecting the eyelids, tear ducts, or surrounding tissues require a thorough assessment before treatment is recommended.
At Amanat Eye Hospital, your pre-oculoplasty procedure includes:
- Visual Acuity & Refraction
- Ocular Surface Assessment
- Skin Laxity Assessment
- External and Eyelid Margin Examination
- The "Mirror Test"
- Photographic Documentation
- Levator Excursion Measurement
- Tear Evaluation Schirmer's Test
These evaluations give our surgeons a complete picture of your condition, helping them plan the treatment that's right for you.

BLEPHAROPLASTY
Restoring The Sagging Skin For A More Youthful Look
Over time, the skin around your eyes can lose its elasticity, leading to sagging eyelids, under-eye bags, or a tired, aged appearance that doesn't reflect how you feel. Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes or repositions excess skin, muscle, and fat around the eyes to restore a more refreshed, youthful look.
We begin by carefully assessing your eyelid position, skin elasticity, and muscle support to plan a procedure that enhances your natural appearance. Our surgeons perform upper eyelid, lower eyelid, or combined blepharoplasty, using Plexr Plus to precisely remove excess tissue.
In some cases, sagging eyelid skin can also interfere with your vision, particularly your peripheral or upper visual field. When this occurs, blepharoplasty is not just cosmetic. It can also be a vision-repairing procedure.
The result is a smoother, more alert appearance that complements your natural features and comfort.

What To Expect During The Journey
Before Surgery
Your consultation includes a thorough examination of your eyelids, tear ducts, or surrounding tissue, along with a discussion of your suitable treatment options and an opportunity to ask questions about your procedure.
During Surgery
Most oculoplastic procedures are performed under local anesthesia, with sedation or general anesthesia used for more complex cases. Depending on the procedure, your surgery may take anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours, and you'll usually be able to return home the same day.
After Surgery
Your recovery time varies depending on the procedure performed, with some swelling or bruising expected in the initial days. Follow-up appointments allow your surgeon to monitor your healing, remove any sutures if needed, and provide guidance throughout your recovery.

Reviews!
Sadia Iqbal
School Teacher
Age: 45
Procedure: Ptosis Repair
Sadia had noticed her left eyelid drooping for years and assumed it was simply a cosmetic concern. After a detailed assessment at Amanat Eye Hospital, her surgeon confirmed it was causing a measurable reduction in her visual field. Ptosis repair restored the full opening of her eyelid, improving both her appearance and her vision.
Tariq Mehmood
Accountant
Age: 38
Procedure: DCR Surgery
Tariq had been living with a constantly watering eye for over two years and had tried multiple antibiotic courses without lasting relief. A lacrimal system evaluation revealed a blocked nasolacrimal duct. DCR surgery created a new drainage pathway, and within weeks the chronic tearing had resolved completely.
Razia Bibi
Homemaker
Age: 62
Procedure: Ectropion Correction
Razia's lower eyelid had turned outward with age, leaving her eye constantly exposed, red, and irritated. She had been using artificial tears for months with little relief. A short surgical correction repositioned the eyelid, resolved her exposure, and eliminated the chronic discomfort she had learned to live with.
Ali Hassan
Engineer
Age: 31
Procedure: Orbital Tumour Excision
Ali noticed gradual protrusion of his right eye over several months. Orbital imaging at Amanat Eye Hospital identified a benign tumour within the orbit. Surgical excision removed the mass completely, and his eye returned to a normal position without any lasting damage to his vision.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is oculoplastic surgery painful?
Most oculoplastic procedures are performed under local anaesthesia with sedation, so patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Some swelling and mild soreness afterward is normal and typically resolves within days to a week, depending on the procedure.
Will oculoplastic surgery leave visible scars?
Our surgeons place incisions within natural skin creases wherever possible, making scars very difficult to detect once healed. For most eyelid procedures, scarring is minimal and fades significantly over the months following surgery.
How long does recovery take after eyelid surgery?
Most patients can return to normal daily activities within one to two weeks. Swelling and bruising are common in the first few days and gradually resolve. Your surgeon will advise on specific restrictions based on the procedure you have had.
Can a drooping eyelid affect my vision?
Yes. A significantly drooping eyelid (ptosis) can obstruct the upper visual field, causing fatigue, difficulty reading, and in severe cases, amblyopia in children. Correction is both functional and cosmetic in these cases.
What causes a blocked tear duct?
Tear ducts can become blocked due to age-related narrowing, infection, inflammation, trauma, or — in infants — incomplete development at birth. The main symptom is persistent watering of the eye, often accompanied by recurrent infections.
Is DCR surgery performed under general anaesthesia?
DCR can be performed under either local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on the patient's preference and the surgical approach. Your surgeon will discuss the most appropriate option for your case.
Can children have oculoplastic conditions?
Yes. Congenital ptosis, nasolacrimal duct obstruction, and dermoid cysts are among the conditions that can affect children from birth or early childhood. Early assessment and timely treatment are important to prevent long-term effects on vision development.
