Reconstructive and plastic surgery in ophthalmology
At our Centre, we perform procedures of reconstructive and plastic surgery of the eyelids, which play a very important, protective function in the eye. Disorders in eyelid development, past surgeries and changes resulting from the aging process are a serious health problem and significantly reduce life comfort, and may also lead to secondary diseases of the eye surface. The aim of reconstructive surgery is to restore the structure, function and shape of the damaged facial tissues in the most physiological way. It is important to establish the causes of existing abnormalities and to correct them with an appropriate surgical procedure.
