Oculoplastics Surgery Dr. Bernardino performs comprehensive oculoplastics procedures including eyelid, lacrimal (tear drain), and orbit (eye socket) surgery. Eyelid surgeries include repositioning eyelid which turn out (ectropion), turn it (entropion), or droop (ptosis). These procedures are used to correct sagging or drooping eyelids. In addition, moles, cysts, styes, and skin tags on and around the eyelids can usually be removed as a simple outpatient procedure. Dr. Bernardino also treats skin cancers around the eye, either through surgical excision or with reconstruction after Mohs surgery performed by a dermatologist. Lacrimal surgery is often required when patients have tearing due to an obstructed tear drain (nasolacrimal duct). Dr. Bernardino performed minimally invasive balloon dacryoplasty (balloon dilation of the tear drain), sutureless endoscopic dacyrocystorhinostomy (DCR), and external DCR (the gold standard) for tear drain obstructions causing chronic tearing or eye infections. Orbital surgery is surgery on the bones around the eyes. For patients with trauma causing fractures, a sunken eye (enophthalmos) or double vision (diplopia), Dr. Bernardino repairs these fractures to restore normal eye socket anatomy and function. For patients with bulging eyes due to thyroid eye disease (Graves disease) Dr. Bernardino performed decompression, removal fat and bone around the eyes to restore normal eye appearance and function. Finally for patients who have lost there eye to trauma, infection, or cancer, Dr. Bernardino performs reconstruction (enucleation or evisceration) to restore the appearance of the diseased eye. |
