1. What are the various areas in which this department works?
A. This is a comprehensive department, which will deal with all patient related problems of Eyelids, the brow area, the orbit (bony socket in which the eye lies) and the face. We will treat all cosmetic and functional problems of these areas. This is one more step in the direction of providing quality healthcare and eye care to the people of India.

2. What are the common eyelid problems encountered?
A. Amongst the common eyelid problems encountered are lid droooping (Ptosis), in-turning and out- turning of the lid margin. Most people do not even realize that they have any problem. They may only expereince mild symptoms such as tiredness of the eyes, watering, irritation or a foreign body sensation initially. It is worthwhile to seek a consultation with an ophthalmic plastic surgeon at this stage before complications and more serious symptoms ensue.

3. What is the role of a Facial Plastic Surgeon in an eye hospital?
A. The face is not separate from the eyes. In fact, this is continuation comprising the Oculofacial continuum. For instance, reconstructing the lids is not similar to any other skin surface as the lids are dynamics mobile complex structures. Similarly, fracture treatment around the eyes requries specific expertise. And as all these structures are close to the eyes, preserving and maintaining vision is of paramount importance. Ophthalmic and facial plastic surgery is a rapidly developing newer sub-speciality of eye surgery and provides the necessary specialized expertise to deal with these problems. It is the vital link between eye surgery, facial surgery and plastic surgery, with combined benefits. This, we feel, completes the filling of a major void in this area of health care.

5. How is a particular mode of therapy decided in a patient?
A. treatment for each patient is individualized depending on their requirements, age, job profile, skin type, etc. generally, non-invasive therapy is preferable to decrease the recuperation. But, whether a patient would benefit the most from a surgical or a non - surgical mode of therapy depends on a thorough evaluation of various factors.
