Eyelid trauma ranges from simple cuts to complex injuries involving the eyelid margin, the tear-drainage system, or the bones of the eye socket. Proper repair restores the eyelid’s ability to close and protect the eye, keeps the tear system working, and rebuilds a natural contour.
Common injuries we repair include eyelid lacerations — especially through the lid margin — canalicular (tear-duct) tears, and eyelid damage associated with orbital fractures.
Cuts to the eyelid, especially those running through the lid margin, precisely realigned so the lid closes and protects the eye.
Tears at the eyelash-bearing edge of the lid, rebuilt layer by layer to restore a smooth, functional margin.
Damage to the tear-drainage channel, repaired to keep the tears draining and prevent a permanently watering eye.
Eyelid injury alongside fractures of the eye socket, managed with the team to restore both function and contour.
Timely, layered repair by an oculoplastic surgeon gives the best result — the eyelid margin and any torn tear duct are precisely realigned, sometimes with a temporary tube to keep the drainage channel open. Complex or bony injuries may be managed alongside our team.
Where scarring or eyelid malposition has resulted from an older injury, secondary reconstruction can improve both function and appearance.
A careful examination maps the injury — the eyelid margin, the tear-drainage system and the bones of the eye socket — to plan the right repair.
Timely, layered repair by an oculoplastic surgeon gives the best result; the eyelid margin and any torn tear duct are precisely realigned.
A torn drainage channel is repaired, sometimes with a temporary silicone tube to keep it open while it heals. Complex or bony injuries are co-managed with the team.
Where scarring or eyelid malposition has resulted from an older injury, secondary reconstruction can improve both function and appearance. Results vary by individual.
Cost depends on the injury’s complexity — shared after assessment. Related reconstructive procedures are on the oculoplasty cost page.
