Eyelid surgery work
The eyelid surgery page states that eye surgeons at the practice provide eyelid surgery to adults and children, including repair of:
- Ptosis (droopy lids), with a frontalis sling video for congenital ptosis
- Ectropion (everted lid) and entropion (inverted lid)
- Trichiasis (lashes rubbing the eye)
- Dermatochalasis (excess eyelid skin)
The page also covers chalazia and styes: many resolve with lid hygiene and warm packs, while persistent chalazia may need incision and drainage, and painful or growing lumps behind the lids may need removal by orbitotomy. The eyelid page is written for the practice and does not name a surgeon. The site has no before-and-after gallery and no cosmetic blepharoplasty page.
Other procedures
The practice cares for children's eye conditions, pediatric cataracts and strabismus, and offers strabismus surgery for adults (source).
Insurance and cost
The billing FAQ states the office participates only in health insurance plans and not in vision plans such as VSP, EyeMed or Davis Vision. The site publishes no prices for eyelid surgery.
