This unit of study aims to provide candidates with a deeper understanding of the theoretical and practical formations of Oculoplastic surgery. In order to study Oculoplastic Surgery 2, students must have successfully completed Oculoplastic Surgery 1. Over the 14 weeks students will study all lacrimal and orbital disease. Lacrimal draining system disorders will be discussed as well as their treatment and diagnosis. External lacrimal as well as endoscopic techniques will be discussed with their advantages and disadvantages. Techniques of investigating lacrimal disorders will be further discussed.Orbital disease will be next discussed. Graves' orbitopathy will be the primary prototype in this module. The symptoms, treatment, and surgery of this disorder will be discussed in depth. After Graves' orbitopathy is thoroughly present, further orbital diseases will be presented. These will include neoplasia, inflammation and infections of the orbits. Finally this module will end with surgical approaches to the orbit. Orbital trauma will be discussed including management of the early and late phases. The last portion of this module will involve enucleation, evisceration and exenteration as well as evaluation and management of the anophthalmic socket.
