Restoring Protection and Comfort
The eyelids and tear ducts are essential for maintaining clear vision and protecting the eye's surface. When the eyelid position is incorrect—whether drooping too low (Ptosis) or turning abnormally inward (Entropion) or outward (Ectropion)—or when the tear duct is blocked, it can lead to chronic irritation, tearing, and severe damage to the cornea.
Our focus is on precision, safety, and long-term clarity, ensuring you receive the highest standard of care for growths on the surface of your eye.
Surgery to adjust the levator muscle restores the upper eyelid to its correct height, eliminating visual obstruction and relieving strain.
This corrects the painful issue where the eyelid and lashes rub against the cornea. Surgery restores the correct outward-facing orientation (inversion correction), eliminating the risk of chronic corneal abrasion and infection.
This corrects the issue where the eyelid droops away, causing chronic tearing and dryness. Surgery restores eyelid contact with the eyeball (eversion correction) and the tear duct opening, resolving chronic eye watering and protecting the eye from exposure.
We begin with quick, in-clinic treatments like punctal dilation (widening the tiny entry points) or syringing and probing (clearing minor blockages) to restore the flow of tears.
For complete or persistent blockages, DCR is the gold standard. Our specialist creates a new drainage pathway between the tear sac and the nasal cavity, providing permanent relief from chronic tearing and preventing recurrent tear sac infections.
Your surgery is performed by our specialist surgeon trained specifically in oculoplastic surgery, who combines precision with a deep focus on functional and cosmetic results.
We focus on the functional outcome first, protecting the eye from severe corneal damage caused by misaligned or drooping lids.
The procedures are often performed comfortably as an out-patient service under local anaesthetic.
We deliver world-class expertise through efficient scheduling, ensuring you
achieve clarity quickly and confidently.
Appointments for assessment and surgery are typically available within one to two weeks. Timely correction is crucial to prevent lasting damage.

Misaligned or drooping eyelids cause vision obstruction and damage due to improper protection or contact with the eye.
Chronic watering of the eyes (epiphora) often stems from blockages in the tear drainage system. Our approach moves from the least to most invasive solution.
