What is an Oculoplastic Surgeon?

An oculoplastic (or ophthalmic plastic) and reconstructive surgeon is an ophthalmologist (medical doctor and eye surgeon) who has completed additional training in plastic surgery as it relates to the eyes and their surrounding structures.

Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is a specialized area of ophthalmology that deals with the management of deformities and abnormalities of the eyelids, lacrimal (tear) system, the orbit (the bony cavity surrounding the eye), and the adjacent face.

Dr. Conlon is dually qualified as an ophthalmologist and an ophthalmic plastic surgeon.
