Conditions We Diagnose & Treat
Oculoplasty procedures require the precision of an ophthalmologist combined with the reconstructive skills of a plastic surgeon. Our team brings both — ensuring every patient achieves the best functional outcome and the most natural aesthetic result.
Sub-Service 3.1
Ocular Oncology
Eye Cancer Diagnosis & Surgery
Eye cancers and tumours — though relatively rare — require expert recognition, precise diagnosis, and prompt surgical management. Delayed diagnosis can result in vision loss, orbital involvement, systemic spread, or loss of life.
Tumours We Evaluate & Treat
RetinoblastomaMost common intraocular malignancy in children; presents as white pupil reflex (leukocoria); potentially life-threatening — urgent evaluation required
Uveal MelanomaMost common primary intraocular tumour in adults; can arise from choroid, ciliary body, or iris
Conjunctival TumoursSquamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, and papilloma of the conjunctival surface
Eyelid TumoursBasal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, sebaceous gland carcinoma, and eyelid melanoma
Orbital TumoursLymphoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, lacrimal gland tumours, and metastatic disease
Choroidal HaemangiomaBenign vascular tumour requiring treatment to prevent vision loss
Iris TumoursNaevi and melanocytic lesions requiring monitoring and biopsy where indicated
Diagnostic Approach
- Comprehensive slit lamp examination and dilated fundus evaluation
- Fundus photography and documentation for monitoring
- B-scan ultrasonography for orbital and intraocular lesion characterisation
- CT or MRI imaging referral for orbit and brain where indicated
- Histopathological examination following surgical excision
- Systemic workup and oncology coordination for malignant lesions
Surgical Management
- Eyelid tumour excision with frozen section margin control and oculoplastic reconstruction
- Conjunctival tumour excision — no-touch technique for corneal or scleral involvement
- Orbital exenteration for advanced orbital malignancy
- Enucleation for large intraocular tumours with prosthetic rehabilitation
- Coordination with radiation and systemic oncology for comprehensive cancer care
Urgent: If you or your child has a white or abnormal pupil reflex in photographs, a rapidly growing eyelid lump, or sudden vision change with a visible eye mass — call 92096 57063 immediately. Early diagnosis is life-saving in ocular oncology.

Ocular Aesthetics
Periocular Aesthetic Treatments
The periocular region is the most expressive part of the face. At Bhakti Netralaya, our aesthetic services are performed by an ophthalmologist with specialist training in periocular anatomy — ensuring safety, precision, and natural-looking results that honour the health of the eye above all else.
Upper Blepharoplasty
Surgical removal of excess upper eyelid skin and fat causing a hooded or aged appearance; also treats functional vision obstruction by dermatochalasis
Lower Blepharoplasty
Correction of lower eyelid bags, hollowing, and excess skin for a refreshed, natural appearance
Brow Lift
Correction of descending brow position that contributes to upper eyelid heaviness and a tired appearance
Ptosis Correction
Lifting of a drooping upper eyelid for both functional improvement and cosmetic rejuvenation
Botulinum Toxin
For crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines; also used for brow shaping and non-surgical brow lifting
Dermal Fillers
Periocular volume restoration, tear trough correction, and temple hollowing treatment
Scar Revision
Improvement of periocular scars following injury or previous surgery for a more natural appearance
All aesthetic procedures at Bhakti Netralaya are approached with the same commitment to clinical excellence and patient safety that defines our surgical services. We take the time to understand each patient’s goals, set realistic expectations, and recommend only what is genuinely appropriate and beneficial.
Sub-Service 3.3
Ocular Plastic Surgery
Reconstructive Periocular Surgery
Ocular plastic surgery encompasses reconstructive procedures that restore both the form and function of the eyelids, orbit, and periocular structures following disease, trauma, tumour excision, or congenital malformation. Our approach combines meticulous surgical technique with thorough understanding of periocular anatomy.
Eyelid ReconstructionFollowing tumour excision — restoration using local flaps, grafts, and composite tissue techniques
Socket ReconstructionPost-enucleation socket reconstruction and prosthetic fitting to restore a natural appearance
Orbital Wall ReconstructionFollowing orbital fractures (blowout fractures) caused by trauma
Post-Traumatic Eyelid MalpositionCorrection of ectropion or entropion following facial lacerations or burns
Cicatricial ChangesCorrection of scarring from chemical burns, radiation, or previous surgery distorting eyelid anatomy
Symblepharon ReleaseCorrection of adhesions between the eyelid and eyeball surface
Anophthalmic Socket ManagementComprehensive care including socket rehabilitation, implant surgery, and prosthetic fitting coordination
Sub-Service 3.4
Lid & Lacrimal Surgery
Eyelid & Tear Duct Surgery
The eyelids and tear drainage system work together to protect the eye and ensure comfortable, clear vision. Disorders of eyelid position and tear drainage are among the most common reasons patients present to our Oculoplasty clinic — and are highly amenable to surgical correction.
Ptosis RepairLevator resection, Muller’s muscle resection, or frontalis suspension depending on severity and cause
Entropion RepairCorrection of inward-turning eyelid; prevents chronic corneal irritation and scarring
Ectropion RepairCorrection of outward-turning eyelid; relieves chronic dry eye, tearing, and cosmetic concern
Trichiasis TreatmentSurgical repositioning or permanent ablation of misdirected eyelashes
Chalazion ExcisionSurgical drainage of persistent eyelid cysts that do not resolve with conservative treatment
Eyelid Laceration RepairPrecise layered repair of traumatic eyelid lacerations including those involving the lid margin
Probing & SyringingDiagnostic evaluation and treatment of lacrimal drainage obstruction
Endonasal DCRDacryocystorhinostomy performed through the nose — no external scar
External DCRPerformed through a small incision when endonasal access is not possible or has failed
PunctoplastySurgical widening of a narrow or stenosed punctum to improve tear drainage
Canalicular RepairMicrosurgical repair of torn or obstructed canaliculi
Congenital NLD ObstructionProbing for infants whose blocked tear duct has not resolved by 12 months of age
Key Procedure
Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR)
The definitive surgical treatment for nasolacrimal duct obstruction — creates a new drainage channel between the lacrimal sac and nasal cavity, permanently relieving watering eyes and preventing recurrent infection.
