Reconstructive Eyelid Surgery

Anophthalmia Specialist

Anophthalmia means no eye. It is a condition which can be congenital (born without an eye) or acquired (surgical removal of an eye resulting from trauma, cancer, etc.). Lack of an eye creates not only an abnormal appearance, but can also lead to abnormal function of the eyelids and socket.

Correcting the eyelid and socket deficiencies associated with anophthalmia is extremely specialized work. Dr. Massry sees many patients with this condition and has developed a specific expertise in this area of surgery.
