Plastic
and Reconstructive Surgery of the eye is also known as oculoplastic
surgery. It involves surgery of the periorbital and facial tissues
including eyelids and eyebrows, orbit (socket), and lacrimal (tear)
system. These procedures are typically performed in an outpatient
setting. Our oculoplastics surgeon, Fred S. Bodker, MD, has
completed extensive post-residency training in this unique
subspecialty. His fellowship was completed in Chicago, IL, under the
direction of Dr. Allen Putterman. He was accepted for membership in

Surgeons, an honor society of approximately 450 surgeons, in 1996.
