Dr. Priti Udhay is an Oculoplastic and Aesthetic Surgeon at Maxivision Eye Hospitals at Anna Nagar and TTK Road in Chennai. Her clinical practice focuses on conditions and surgical procedures involving the eyelids, lacrimal system, orbit and surrounding structures of the eye. She provides evaluation and treatment for functional, reconstructive and selected aesthetic concerns affecting the eyes and eyelids.
Dr. Priti Udhay’s areas of clinical expertise include oculoplastic surgery, aesthetic eyelid surgery, blepharoplasty, ptosis correction, tear duct and lacrimal disorders, entropion and ectropion correction, orbital conditions and selected cases of thyroid eye disease. Her treatment approach is based on the patient’s clinical findings, ocular function, individual anatomy and treatment goals.
Oculoplastic surgery addresses a range of conditions affecting the eyelids, tear drainage system and orbit. Dr. Udhay evaluates patients with concerns such as drooping eyelids, abnormal eyelid position, excessive tearing, eyelid-related visual obstruction and selected orbital conditions. Depending on the underlying cause and clinical findings, treatment may involve observation, medical management or surgery.
Dr. Udhay provides assessment for upper and lower blepharoplasty and other selected aesthetic eyelid procedures. Blepharoplasty may be considered for patients with excess eyelid skin or tissue contributing to functional or aesthetic concerns. Her approach to aesthetic eyelid surgery takes individual facial and eyelid anatomy into consideration, with treatment planning focused on appropriate and realistic goals.
Ptosis, or drooping of the upper eyelid, can have different causes and may affect the visual field, eyelid position or appearance. Dr. Udhay evaluates the severity and underlying cause of ptosis before determining whether surgical correction or another form of management is appropriate.
Dr. Udhay also provides evaluation for lacrimal and tear drainage conditions, including tear duct obstruction. Problems affecting the lacrimal drainage system may result in excessive tearing, discharge or recurrent eye discomfort. A detailed assessment helps identify the underlying problem and determine the appropriate treatment pathway.
Her oculoplastic practice also includes the assessment of eyelid position disorders such as entropion and ectropion. Entropion occurs when the eyelid turns inward, while ectropion occurs when the eyelid turns outward. Depending on the cause and severity, these conditions may affect ocular surface protection, comfort and tear distribution and may require specialist treatment.
Orbital conditions require careful assessment because the orbit contains the eye and important surrounding muscles, nerves, blood vessels and tissues. Dr. Udhay evaluates selected orbital conditions and may use clinical examination and appropriate imaging when required to support diagnosis and treatment planning.
For patients with thyroid eye disease, an oculoplastic assessment may include evaluation of eyelid position, eye movements, ocular surface health and orbital involvement. Orbital decompression may be considered in selected cases when clinically indicated. The appropriate treatment depends on the patient’s individual clinical presentation and disease characteristics.
Patient-centred consultation is an important part of Dr. Udhay’s approach to care. During consultation, she evaluates the patient’s concerns, discusses relevant clinical findings and explains available treatment options. For surgical procedures, patients can discuss potential benefits, risks, recovery considerations and follow-up requirements before making treatment decisions.
Patients may seek an oculoplastic consultation for concerns including drooping eyelids, ptosis, excess eyelid skin, puffy eyelids, under-eye concerns, entropion, ectropion, excessive tearing, tear duct obstruction, selected thyroid eye disease-related concerns and other functional or aesthetic eyelid conditions.
Dr. Priti Udhay is associated with Maxivision Eye Hospitals in Chennai, with consultation availability at Anna Nagar and TTK Road, subject to current appointment scheduling. Patients with eyelid, lacrimal, orbital or aesthetic eyelid concerns can consult an oculoplastic specialist for an individual clinical assessment and discussion of appropriate treatment options.
