About Oculopalsty
An Oculopalsty procedure is a type of surgery done around the eyes. You may have this procedure to correct a medical problem or for cosmetic reasons. Oculopalsty procedures are usually done by eye doctors (ophthalmologists) who have special training in plastic or reconstructive surgery
It also deals with the reconstruction of the eye and associated structures. Oculopalsty surgeons perform procedures such as the repair of droopy eyelids (blepharoplasty), repair of tear duct obstructions, orbital fracture repairs, removal of tumours in and around the eyes, eyelid and facial reconstruction.

An ocular prosthesis, artificial eye or glass eye is a type of prosthesis that replaces an absent natural eye following an enucleation, evisceration, or orbital exenteration. The prosthesis fits over an orbital implant and under the eyelids. Though often referred to as a glass eye, the ocular prosthesis roughly takes the shape of a convex shell and is made of medical grade plastic acrylic.
Epiphora happens when there is either an overproduction of tears or insufficient tear film drainage from the eye or eyes. When tears are unable to drain properly through the nasolacrimal system, they overflow onto the face. Epiphora can develop at any age, but it is more common in those aged under 12 months or over 60 years. It may affect one or both eyes. However, it is possible to treat the condition effectively.
Entropion is a condition in which the eyelid is “turned in” toward the eye. Ectropion is a condition where the lower eyelid is “turned out” away from the eye. Both can be repaired with surgical procedures designed to return the eyelid to its natural position.

Blindness in children leads to deep impact on psychological, emotional, and socioeconomic growth to the family. A child with blindness is more likely to have delays in developmental milestones, to be more frequently hospitalized, and die during childhood than a sighted child. Such severe vision loss also adversely effects the educational activities, orientation, and mobility from the early stage of life resulting in lack of employment privilege. These differential characteristics between a sighted and non-sighted child is more obvious in developing countries. Moreover, the disability adjusted life years (DALY) loss in a blind child is far more than that of adults with blindness.
