Major Conditions Treated

Orbital Diseases
The orbit is a cone-shaped bony cavity that houses the eye and its surrounding structures. Our oculoplastics team is highly skilled in diagnosing and treating a wide range of orbital disorders, including fractures, tumors, inflammatory diseases, infections, and vascular anomalies. Accurate diagnosis and effective treatment often require prompt imaging and a coordinated multidisciplinary approach.
-
Eyelid Malignancies
The incidence of eyelid malignancies, including sebaceous carcinoma, which is more common in Asian populations, is steadily increasing. Early diagnosis and surgical treatment by experienced oculoplastic surgeons are essential for minimizing recurrence and achieving optimal functional and cosmetic outcomes.
