The city of Granada has hosted the XXXV Congress of the Spanish Society of Oculoplastic Surgery (SECOP), an event that underscores the excellent moment this subspecialty within ophthalmology is experiencing. Granada's selection to also host the future European Congress of Oculoplastics confirms its status as a reference point.
Oculoplastics, which encompasses surgery of the eyelids, orbit, and tear duct, is consolidating as one of the fastest-growing areas in ophthalmology. Its multidisciplinary nature, combining functional, reconstructive, and aesthetic aspects, attracts both young professionals and patients.
Technological advancements are revolutionizing the field. New surgical and pharmacological techniques for conditions such as thyroid eye disease and periocular oncology are highlighted. Likewise, periocular aesthetics are experiencing a boom, with refined techniques for facial rejuvenation and enhancing the gaze.
Beyond aesthetics, oculoplastic surgery treats various pathologies, including eyelid malpositions, benign and malignant tumors, and tear duct obstructions. Early detection of symptoms such as changes in eyelid position, growing lesions, or constant tearing is crucial.
The most in-demand treatments include the correction of eyelid abnormalities and tear duct obstructions, as well as facial and gaze rejuvenation procedures like blepharoplasty. The Ophthalmology department at Vithas Granada has a team of six specialists offering comprehensive care across all areas of ophthalmology.
Technological innovation has enabled more precise diagnoses, less invasive treatments, and faster recoveries. Vithas Granada is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, and its modern facilities at the Centro Médico de la Plaza de los Cármenes enhance patient accessibility and comfort.
Patients with eyelid, tear duct, or orbital problems are encouraged to consult with specialists, as effective treatments are available. Superspecialization is key to achieving greater experience and precision in the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.
