Orbital implants & Prosthesis
These are the implants those are used following enucleation surgery. Eye is replaced with Orbital Implant to fill up the empty socket. It also improves the cosmetic appearance.
Defects of Lacrimal system
If there is any blockage or narrowing of the any part of lacrimal system including puncta, canaliculus, nasolacrimal sac, nasolacrimal duct; it leads to excessive watering that interferes with activities of daily activity. There can also be an infection in the lacrimal sac (acute dacryocystitis) as a result of the blocked tear duct which causes red, painful swelling at the corner of the eye. These problems are treated by a procedure called Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR). In this a new passage is made between the lacrimal sac and the nose and this bypasses any blockage below the lacrimal sac and allows tears to drain normally again.
