Oculoplastics at Progressive Vision

Expert Oculoplastic Care

At Progressive Vision, we offer specialist Oculoplastic care – a branch of Ophthalmology that focuses on the delicate tissues around the eyes, including the eyelids, tear ducts, and orbit (the bony socket that holds the eye).

Problems with the eyelids or surrounding tissues can affect more than just appearance. They may:

  • Interfere with vision
  • Cause discomfort or irritation
  • Lead to repeated infections
  • Affect confidence and quality of life

Oculoplastic surgery restores both function and appearance, helping patients see comfortably and look refreshed.

Consultant-Led Patient Care

At Progressive Vision, you will be cared for by Consultant Eye Surgeon Ms. Clare Quigley, who combines advanced surgical expertise with a compassionate, patient-focused approach.

Clare trained as an ophthalmic surgeon in Ireland, where she achieved the highest score in Europe in the European Board of Ophthalmology diploma. She went on to complete advanced fellowships in oculoplastic surgery in the UK and Australia, and also worked as a Consultant Oculoplastic Surgeon in the UK, bringing extensive international experience to her patients at Progressive Vision.

 

Clare specialises in the treatment of:

Eyelid surgery

  • Blepharoplasty – removes excess skin, fat, or muscle from droopy eyelids (improves vision and appearance)
  • Ptosis repair – lifts drooping upper eyelids caused by weak muscles
  • Eyelid malposition surgery – corrects eyelids that turn inward (entropion) or outward (ectropion)
  • Removal of eyelid cysts, lumps, or skin cancers

Tear duct surgery

  • Procedures to treat blocked tear ducts, such as dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR), which creates a new drainage pathway
  • Tear duct probing or stenting in children and adults

Orbital surgery

  • Surgery for conditions affecting the eye socket, such as thyroid eye disease, orbital fractures, or tumours
  • Orbital decompression (relieving pressure around the eye)

Reconstructive & cosmetic procedures

  • Rebuilding eyelids after trauma or tumour removal
  • Eyelid or brow surgery to improve appearance and comfort
  • Botox for eyelid spasms (blepharospasm)
