An Oculoplastic Surgery expert witness is an Oculoplastic Surgeon who testifies about disorders of the lacrimal gland, tear duct, and tissues near the eye.
Oculoplastic Surgery is a surgical specialty dedicated to the treatment of injuries and disorders of the orbit (eye socket), eyelids, lacrimal gland, tear ducts, and soft tissues around the eye. Oculoplastic Surgeons are Ophthalmologists who have undertaken specialized fellowship training that combines Plastic (reconstructive) Surgery and Ophthalmology. While this leads to some crossover with the fields of Plastic Surgery, Otolaryngology, and Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, the latter specialists rarely operate on lacrimal (tear) structures or orbit. Although Ophthalmology (rather than Oculoplastic Surgery) is a recognized board under the American Board of Medical Specialties, many Oculoplastic Surgeons are certified by the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (ASOPR). An experienced Oculoplastic Surgery expert witness will have board certification.
