Meet our patients whose lives have been transformed through personalized surgical treatment.
Ocular and orbital disease, disorders, and conditions can threaten vision, cause pain, and significantly impact quality of life. Through advanced surgical techniques—from minimally invasive approaches to complex reconstructions—our patients have experienced remarkable recoveries.
Patient regained vision two months after successful removal of a large tumor compressing her optic nerve following two previous failed attempts.
Patient with a large orbital tumor which caused vision loss and double vision underwent minimally invasive surgery. Within three months her double vision resolved and vision improved dramatically
Patient with herpetic nerve damage causing painful corneal breakdown underwent corneal neurotization surgery, eliminating her need for bandage contact lenses and restoring her to near-normal function.
This patient endured a lifetime of tarsorrhaphy sutures since early childhood. She experienced remarkable improvements after corneal neurotization surgery, including better vision, elimination of chronic discharge, removal of the protective eyelid stitch, and significantly increased confidence.
Young patient with a traumatized eye from a 2017 car accident and multiple subsequent surgeries. Dr. Kahana successfully resolved her cicatricial entropion with trichiasis through a series of minimally invasive injection procedures over a year, avoiding additional surgery while addressing the underlying cause and preserving her eye health and appearance.
Suffering from necrobiotic xanthogranuloma affecting his eyelids for seven years this patient underwent multiple unsuccessful surgeries with other doctors before coming to Dr. Kahana. He has experienced significant improvement and the best results.
This patient experienced exceptional results after an upper and lower blepharoplasty, reporting complete elimination of facial pain and tension, improved vision with a changed eyeglass prescription, natural-looking rejuvenation, and a painless recovery with minimal swelling.
Three weeks after upper and lower eyelid surgery with forehead lift, this patient reports excellent results with brighter, improved vision, minimal discomfort, and is very satisfied with her outcome despite some expected healing symptoms like swelling and temporary numbness.
Dr. Kahana has unparalleled expertise in the unique field of orbital disease, disorders, and conditions with dozens of manuscripts and book chapters published and dozens of lectures given throughout the United States and internationally.
Surgeries can range from minimally invasive procedures using endoscopic techniques to more extensive surgeries that may involve the removal of tumors, reconstruction of the orbital bones, or treatment of severe infections. The goals of orbital surgery are to restore function, relieve symptoms, and reconstruct the patient’s appearance if deformity is a concern.
The team at Kahana Oculoplastic Surgery specializes in the treatment and management of ocular and orbital disorders.
