Oculoplastics services at the UPMC Vision Institute provide diagnosis and treatment for diseases and disorders of the eyelids, eye sockets, and tear ducts.
Our comprehensive approach gives patients access to state-of-the-art technology and a wide variety of eye care specialists and ophthalmic surgeons. Our multidisciplinary team designs individualized treatment plans based on patients’ needs, with the ultimate goal of improving their vision and quality of life.
Orbital and Ocular Services
A variety of disorders can occur in the soft tissues around the orbit, the space between the eye and the bones protecting the eye. These may include eye diseases such as orbital inflammation or proptosis (protrusion of the eye), skin cancer, and trauma-related injury. In these cases, treatment, in the form of orbital and ocular reconstruction, can include minimally invasive endoscopic approaches as well as open surgical techniques.
Our highly skilled surgeons have a breadth of resources at their disposal and offer a personalized and comprehensive approach to addressing these diagnoses and conditions.
Why Choose UPMC for Oculoplastics?
From quick, non-surgical aesthetic services to the most challenging surgical procedures, oculoplastic surgeons at the UPMC Vision Institute are prepared to offer patients a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plan that will help them achieve better vision and health.
Patients are seen by an eye doctor throughout their visits — never an aesthetician. They receive a comprehensive evaluation, and should they need the services of other specialists, we have access to a wide array of physicians throughout UPMC.
