Mr Kamalarajah is a Consultant Ophthalmic and Oculoplastic Surgeon with a specialist interest in oculoplastic, lacrimal and orbital disorders. He is based at the Royal Victoria Hospital. He is a Fellow of The Royal College of Ophthalmologists (RCOphth), member of The British Medical Association (BMA) and British Oculoplastic Surgeons Society (BOPSS).
An oculoplastic surgeon is a surgeon who has first been trained as an ophthalmologist (eye surgeon). In addition to the basic ophthalmic surgical training the oculoplastic surgeon has then received additional highly specialised training in oculoplastic surgery, which provides the skills required to perform both cosmetic eyelid surgery and functional/rehabilitative surgery around the eyes. This specialist knowledge and training is essential when performing very delicate surgery relating to the upper and lower eyelids and other structures around the eyes e.g. the tear drainage pathway.
