Loss of vision indeed causes profound mental trauma. If the vision loss is accompanied by disfigurement of the eye it further adds to the trauma and decreases patient's self-confidence. The disfigurement can be very well corrected by an appropriate surgery as advised by an oculoplastic surgeon and a custom-made ocular prosthesis. The results are very satisfying in a typical case.
Oculoplastic surgery is specialized plastic surgery around the eyelids and face. It is also called oculofacial surgery as the eyelids are continuous with the forehead, cheeks, and deals with the related tear system (lacrimal) and orbits (deeper structures surrounding the eyeball).
