Oculoplastics combines advanced training in ophthalmology with specialization in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Oculoplastic surgery is performed on children and adults to correct or treat disorders – from the most common to the rarest – of the eyelids, tear production and drainage (lacrimal) system, brows, the area of the face adjacent to the eye, and the bones around the eye.
Our oculoplastic surgeons, also known as eye plastic or oculo-facial surgeons, also perform cosmetic surgery and procedures [see: Cosmetic Oculoplastic Services] that seek to enhance the appearance of patients.
Ted Wojno, MD, James and Shirley Kuse Professor of Ophthalmology, is the director of Oculoplastics at Emory Eye Center. A thought leader in the field, Dr. Wojno is board certified in ophthalmology, and is the author or co-author of more than 80 articles in medical journals including Ophthalmology Plastic Reconstructive Surgery, Ophthalmology, Cornea, Otolaryngology Head Neck Surgery, American Journal of Rhinology, Laryngoscope, and the American Journal of Surgical Pathology.
Reconstructive Surgery and Procedures
Common disorders treated include eyelid malpositions, ptosis (repair for droopy eyelid), blocked tear ducts and tear flow problems; reconstructive surgery for eye structures damaged by accident or disease; problems with the function of the eyelid, eye socket and Graves' Disease.
