Restoring comfort and confidence through advanced eyelid surgery techniques.

By Dr. Hossam Elbarbary, Consultant Ophthalmologist & Oculoplastic Surgeon in Dubai

Oculoplasty is a specialized field of eye surgery that focuses on the structures around the eyes — including the eyelids, tear ducts, and orbit. At NMC Specialty Hospital in Al Nahda, Dubai, Dr. Hossam Elbarbary offers expert surgical and non-surgical care to restore both appearance and function, including oculoplasty surgery in dubai.


What Is Oculoplastic Surgery?

Oculoplastic surgery treats a wide range of functional and aesthetic conditions such as:

  • Eyelid malpositions (entropion, ectropion)
  • Drooping eyelids (ptosis)
  • Tear duct obstruction (blocked tear drainage)
  • Eyelid or orbital tumors and reconstruction.
  • Eyelid cysts or chalazion
  • Cosmetic enhancements like blepharoplasty
  • Orbital floor fractures

These surgeries are often performed under local anesthesia and have quick recovery times, especially when done early.


Conditions We Treat and How We Treat Them

✅ Entropion & Ectropion

Malposition of the eyelids can lead to irritation, tearing, and exposure. Surgery corrects the lid position and restores function.

✅ Ptosis (Drooping Eyelids)


Caused by aging, nerve injury, or congenital weakness. Ptosis can interfere with vision and affect appearance. Surgical tightening of the eyelid’s levator muscle corrects the droop.

✅ Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

This enhances vision and appearance by removing excess eyelid skin and fat. It also reduces puffiness and tired appearance.

✅ Blocked Tear Duct (NLDO)

If you suffer from constant tearing or infection, we may recommend a DCR (dacryocystorhinostomy) to restore tear drainage.

This trusted video clearly shows the steps, instruments used, and expected outcomes for treating blocked tear ducts—commonly performed when tear drainage fails.
