Orbit & Oculoplasty Fellowship

Job Summary:

The Orbit & Oculoplasty Fellowship at Eye Mantra offers focused training in the diagnosis, management, and surgical treatment of oculoplastic and orbital conditions. The program emphasizes both surgical and non-surgical approaches to eyelid abnormalities, orbital disorders, and reconstructive procedures. Fellows will gain hands-on experience across a broad spectrum of oculoplastic surgeries, equipping them with the expertise required for a successful career in this specialized field.

Program Details:

OPD & Procedures:

• The fellowship provides in-depth training in the evaluation and management of oculoplastic and orbital conditions.
• Fellows gain exposure to diagnostic procedures such as high-resolution CT and MRI for orbital imaging, ultrasonography, slit-lamp examination, biopsies, and eyelid assessments.
• Regular OPD rotations offer opportunities to manage cases independently under the guidance of experienced oculoplastic surgeons.
• Clinical experience includes a wide range of conditions, including eyelid malpositions, orbital tumors, trauma, and reconstructive procedures.

Program Structure:

First 3 Months – Induction Phase:

• Foundational training in oculoplastic surgery and orbital disease pathology.
• Hands-on experience in the clinical assessment and workup of eyelid and orbital disorders.
• Introduction to advanced imaging and diagnostic tools such as CT, MRI, and ultrasonography.
• Case-based learning focused on common conditions including ptosis, orbital cellulitis, and eyelid malpositions.
• Training in the anatomy and surgical principles relevant to eyelid, lacrimal, and orbital surgeries.

Next 3 Months – Advanced Clinical & Surgical Training:

• Surgical training in procedures such as blepharoplasty, ptosis correction, and entropion/ectropion repair.
• Exposure to orbital surgeries, including tumor excision, decompression, and fracture repair.
• Hands-on experience in managing lacrimal system disorders through procedures like dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) and related surgeries.
• Practical training in reconstructive techniques for eyelid trauma and post-tumor excision repair.
• Management of complex orbital conditions, including infections, inflammations, and structural anomalies.
• Post-operative care, patient education, and follow-up for optimal surgical outcomes.

Key Learning Opportunities:

• Extensive exposure to both surgical and non-surgical treatment of orbital and eyelid disorders.
• Practical experience with a wide variety of oculoplastic procedures, including both reconstructive and cosmetic surgeries.
• Advanced diagnostic training in orbital imaging and pathology.
• Familiarity with the latest techniques and innovations in oculoplastic surgery.
