    Eyelid and oculoplasty care

    Treatment for problems and injuries of the eyelids, tear ducts and eye socket (orbit), for both comfort and appearance.

    Medically reviewed by Dr. Vinay Patil, MBBS, MS (Ophthalmology), founder of Sankalp Nethralaya. Last reviewed .

    Quick answer

    Sankalp Nethralaya offers eyelid, orbit and oculoplasty care at its HSR Layout, Hosa Road and Banaswadi clinics in Bengaluru. Drooping or turned eyelids, tear duct problems and prosthetic eyes. Consultations start at ₹650, walk-ins are welcome, and cashless treatment is available with major insurers and TPAs.

    What oculoplasty treats

    • Drooping upper eyelid (ptosis), which can block vision
    • Eyelids turning in or out (entropion and ectropion), causing irritation and watering
    • Watering eyes from a blocked tear duct, including in babies
    • Eyelid lumps such as chalazion and styes
    • Excess eyelid skin that weighs on the lashes
    • Eye injuries to the eyelids, eye socket and the eye itself (ocular trauma)
    • Orbit problems such as swelling, lumps or fractures around the eye
    • Prosthetic eye fitting and socket care
    • Cosmetic corneal tattooing for a scarred, white cornea

    Our consultant ophthalmic surgeon Dr. Pinto Kiran, who holds a fellowship in cataract and oculoplastic surgery, sees patients for oculoplasty and squint surgery.

    What to expect

    Many eyelid procedures are done under local anaesthesia as day care. Your doctor will explain the expected result, recovery time and aftercare at your consultation.

    Where to get treated

    Eyelid, orbit and oculoplasty is available at our HSR Layout, Hosa Road and Banaswadi clinics.

    Common questions

    Is a drooping eyelid only a cosmetic problem?

    Not always. A droop can block the upper part of your vision, and in children it can cause a lazy eye. It should be checked.

    My baby’s eye waters all the time. Is that serious?

    A blocked tear duct is common in babies and often clears on its own with gentle massage. If it persists, we can advise on simple treatment.
