ABSTRACT
Most people think that ophthalmology only treat diseases of the eyeball, but there are also many diseases of the accessory organs around the eyeball. Oculoplasty is a field of ophthalmology that deals with diseases of the eyelids, lacrimal system, and orbit. These accessory organs play important roles in protecting the eyes and supporting their function. Sometimes, diseases of these organs cause cosmetic problems, as well as functional problems. In the past, this field was considered rather indifferently and was not well recognized, so the treatment of these diseases was not specialized. However, concomitantly with recent improvements in quality of life and the increased desire of patients for these diseases to be treated, the importance of this field is increasing and many oculoplastic specialists are being trained. In the oculoplastic field, wide range of diseases are treated. In this report, the author provides a brief overview of the most important and common oculoplastic diseases.
