Training

An oculoplastic surgeon is an ophthalmologist specialist who has completed one or two years of additional fellowship training after ophthalmology residency. Members of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (ASOPRS) are the most qualified oculoplastic surgeons in North America. To qualify, members must have passed the American Board of Ophthalmology certification exam, as well as written and oral examinations through ASOPRS. A candidate should also have made a significant contribution to the field of oculoplastics, which may take the form of a peer-reviewed publication. Other surgeons such as plastic surgeons, otolaryngologists, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons can be trained in oculoplastic procedures as well.

  • The is the deletion of the entire contents of the orbitals, including the eyes, extraocular muscles, fat, and connective tissue; usually for malignant orbital tumors.
