Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures known for delivering results that are both subtle and transformative.

This procedure is designed to address concerns such as hooding of the upper eyelids, heaviness, signs of tiredness, and puffiness or under-eye bags.

At Fort Lauderdale Eye Institute, surgical planning goes beyond aesthetics. Because the eyes are complex and delicate structures, every procedure is approached with care and a deep understanding of both form and function. Schedule a consultation at flei.com to explore what’s possible.

Take your child to work day at the Fort Lauderdale Eye Institute 💛

We had the pleasure of welcoming some very special “junior team members” to experience a day in the life of ophthalmic care. We loved sharing what we do and hopefully sparked a future passion for helping others preserve their vision and enhance their quality of life.

A vitrectomy is a specialized eye surgery used to treat advanced retinal conditions and help preserve your vision. This procedure involves the removal of the clear, gel-like substance inside your eye, which is then replaced with a saline solution or, in some cases, a gas bubble, to repair damage inside the eye.

This treatment is often recommended for conditions like retinal detachment, macular holes, diabetic retinopathy, and eye trauma.

If you’re experiencing vision changes or have been diagnosed with a retinal condition, a comprehensive exam is the first step toward protecting your sight. Schedule a consultation with our retina surgeons to learn your options.

Dr. Epstein also discusses activity restrictions, time off from work, and the importance of rest, icing, and using ointment during the first week to support recovery. This overview helps you feel informed and prepared if you’re planning or considering eyelid surgery.
