How do we treat Eyelid Trauma?

Eyelid trauma surgery is a procedure performed to repair damage to the eyelid caused by injuries such as:

  • Cuts or lacerations
  • Punctures
  • Blunt force trauma
  • Burns
  • Animal bites

The goal of this surgery is two-fold:

  • Functional Restoration: This may involve repairing the eyelid margin, tear duct system, or canthal tendons (ligaments that hold the eyelid in place). These repairs ensure proper eyelid closure, tear drainage, and overall eye health.
  • Cosmetic Improvement: In some cases, eyelid trauma surgery can also address cosmetic concerns caused by the injury. This can help restore a natural look to your eyelids and improve your confidence.

Benefits of Eyelid Trauma Repair
