How can one determine who is more beneficial for the purposes of strictly cosmetic under and or upper eye surgery if its determined to be eventually necessary? What does each focus on and what does each NOT specialize in?
Answer: Ophthalmic Surgeon and Ocuplastic Surgeon: What is the difference? Thank you for your question. Ophthalmic and oculoplastic surgeons are considered to be both medical eye doctors. They both need to be board certified in order to perform procedures related to their tasks and responsibilities as doctors.Ophthalmic doctors on the other hand treat diseases of the eyes such as vision correction, glaucoma, retinal issues, as well as cataracts among others. An oculoplastic surgeon works on a wide array of procedures like eye socket issues and tear duct problems. Eye reconstruction along with some associated structures are also under the issues resolved by oculoplastic surgeons. These doctors start off as ophthalmic doctors first and take on extra training and practice in order to specialize in oculoplastic surgeries.

Answer: Ocular Plastic Surgeon Vs. Ophthalmic Surgeon Both an ophthalmic surgeon and an Ocular Plastic surgeon are Ophthalmologists (Eye MDs). Oculoplastic surgery, includes a wide variety of surgical procedures that deal with the eye socket, tear ducts, and the face. It also deals with the reconstruction of the eye and associated structures. Oculoplastic surgeons (ophthalmic surgeons) are ophthalmologists (eye physicians) who complete 1–2 years of additional fellowship training following their ophthalmology residency. Other types of surgeons may be trained in oculoplastic procedures, including plastic surgeons and otolaryngologists. Some oculoplastic surgeons do additional training in cosmetic surgery.
