Oculolasty, or ophthalmic plastic surgery, is performed around the eyes to correct a medical problem and sometimes also for cosmetic reasons. It is one of the most commonly performed procedures around the eyes and has been proven to help fix many eye-related problems. It is commonly performed to correct problems like eyelid malposition, problems with the orbit of the eye, tear drainage problems, eye cancer, and problems with the eyebrows. (Centre for Sight).
