Common problems in ophthalmic plastic surgery.
Many ophthalmic plastic surgical problems are ignored because the patient seems to be ""getting along." Frequently physicians are only vaguely aware of the constant daily discomfort their patients experience from seemingly minor problems such as endocrine exophthalmos, an ill-fitting prosthesis or baggy eyelids. As a result, too often the patient is unaware of the treatment possibilities that are available to relieve and often eliminate his problem. These conditions are often first seen by the family physician.
