The eyelids and structures around the eyes are critical for vision. Injuries, aging changes and tumors can cause pain, vision loss and disfigurement. Changes in the eye's appearance due to aging or the loss of an eye to disease/injury can decrease one's ability to interact in social settings and can decrease one's confidence and impair self-image.Oculoplastic procedures frequently have both functional and aesthetic purposes. For example, Blepharoplasty, a procedure for baggy and droopy eyelids, may improve peripheral vision as well as facial beauty and rejuvenation. It aims at improving function, comfort and appearance.
