    The eyelid defect resulting from tumour removal is reconstructed with plastic surgery to give functional and cosmetic results. Removal of the eye for certain cancers is a life-saving measure. While the eye is removed safely to prevent any tumour dispersion, the empty space is reconstructed in the same sitting with an implant and a custom-made prosthesis is later fitted to provide a natural appearance
  • Anophthalmic socket surgery (shrunken eyes, deformed non-seeing eyes): surgery to fill the empty socket that either doesn’t have an eye or has a shrunken non-seeing eye due to trauma, disease, some birth defect, etc. This is followed by custom made ocular prosthesis to provide a natural appearance.

We offer comprehensive management of fracture repair and socket reconstruction with the latest technology of 3D printed implants to give the best results.
