In cases where the tear drainage system is narrow but not completely blocked, minimally invasive procedures may be performed to improve symptoms by enlarging the openings and passages of the system. These include punctoplasty (a procedure to open narrow tear drain entrances) and stent placement (a procedure to enlarge the tear drainage tubes, which involves temporarily inserting a tiny silicone tube).
Punctoplasty and Stents (natural tear duct opening)
Treatment of Tearing in Infants and Children
A significant number of children are born with the tear drainage system only partially formed. While the system often completes its development within the first year of life, some will require a procedure in order to eliminate tearing and mucus discharge/crusty eyelashes, as well as prevent infection. Required treatments range from a one-time procedure to dilate the drain to stent insertion.
Thyroid eye disease (TED) managment
Thyroid eye disease is an autoimmune disease in which the eye muscles and fatty tissue behind the eye become inflamed and which affects some people with autoimmune thyroid disease. TED is most common in people with hyperthyroidism due to Graves’ disease and rarely, may occur in patients with normal or low thyroid levels.
This inflammation can push the eyes forward or cause the eyes and eyelids to become red and swollen.
Orbital tumor surgery
This is a type of oculoplastic surgery that consists of removing a malignant/benign growth from the orbit of the eye. The orbit is the bone surrounding the eye.
Blepharospasm/Hemifacialspasm
Significantly reduce or eliminate involuntary spasms of the muscles of the eyelid and the face through an injection intended to temporarily weaken the targeted muscles.
Pterygium Excision With Autograft
Pterygium is a wing-shaped, vascular, fleshy growth that originates on the conjunctiva and that can spread to the corneal limbus and beyond. Early in the disease process, pterygia are usually asymptomatic; however, there can be signs of dry eye (such as burning, itching or tearing) as the lesion causes irregular wetting of the ocular surface.
As the disease progresses, the lesion increases in size and becomes more. apparent to the naked eye and may become cosmetically unpleasant for the patient. Further growth may cause visual symptoms due to induced astigmatism or direct encroachment onto the visual axis.
Chalazion/Stye Treatment
Caused by a blocked oil gland in the eyelid that can cause swelling and inflammation. DR.HAITHAM MOUED offers multiple treatment options, including surgical removal if needed and recommended by your surgeon.
Eyelid Lesion Treatment
A growth that develops on the eyelid, eyelid lesions can be removed in our clinic.
Plasmage (Non surgical Eyelid lifting)
It offers patients an alternative to surgery for mild skin laxity cases by using fractional plasma to sublimate delicate tissue areas with no cutting of the skin and often by applying anaesthetic cream to the area being treated .This process stimulates the skin’s natural healing response, leading to collagen production and skin tightening. Plasmage can be used to treat wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin, acne scars, and certain pigmentation issues
