Our Approach

To relieve conditions such as lower eyelids that turn in or out, styes and cysts, droopy upper eyelids or skin lesions and cancers.

We have extensive experience performing all types of eyelid surgery and it is one of the mainstays of our practice. Justin is both an ophthalmologist and specialist in oculoplastic surgery, and this combination of specialist skills allows him to expertly examine the health of the eye as well as that of the eyelid, assessing and treating them holistically to achieve the best possible result.

Treatments are usually performed as day procedures, under sedation and with local anaesthetic administered by our carefully selected team of highly skilled and compassionate anaesthetists, who help make the surgery experience a calm and positive one for each patient.

There are several upper and lower eyelid conditions that we can correct with surgery. These include:

• Ectropian (turned out lower eyelid)

• Entropian (turned in lower eyelid)


• Ptosis (droopy upper eyelids)


• Dermatochalasis (excess upper eyelid skin that disturbs normal vision)


• Chalazion (persistent stye or infected cyst of the eyelid) and eyelid lumps and bumps.

◦ These can often be diagnosed and treated during the initial consultation.


• Skin cancer of the eyelids

◦ A diagnosis of skin cancer on the eyelids can be very confronting. However we are highly experienced in excision techniques and in restoring the normal function and appearance of the eyelid. In some cases, we may involve dermatologists trained in Mohs (skin cancer) surgery to assist with excision of the skin tumour.
