About Ophthalmic Reconstructive Surgery
Reconstructive surgery of the eye takes place following irreparable damage to the eye’s integrity. Such damage can result following trauma, iatrogenic damage (damage caused during a surgical procedure) or as a result of an inflammatory/connective tissue disease process. In these instances, the tissue can incur such damage that direct and immediate closure becomes impossible, making patching the area with preserved and processed tissue the only treatment option.
