EyeFACE Medical™
Referral-based oculoplastic care for medical concerns around the eye: eyelid position, tearing, thyroid eye disease, orbital problems, periocular lesions, and reconstruction after trauma or skin cancer.
Medical Services
This page is for patients and referring clinicians looking for oculoplastic assessment, not routine eye care. Each referral is reviewed according to the clinical concern and the most appropriate setting for care.
Eyelid & Brow
Assessment and surgical planning when eyelid position, eyelid closure, lashes, or brow position affects comfort, protection, or vision.
Lacrimal
Evaluation of persistent tearing, blocked tear ducts, punctal or canalicular concerns, and lacrimal surgery when indicated.
Orbit & Thyroid Eye Disease
Specialist assessment for thyroid eye disease, orbital inflammation, masses, asymmetry, trauma, and complex socket concerns.
Lesions & Chalazia
A careful pathway for eyelid lesions, chalazia, cysts, papillomas, skin cancers, and periocular reconstruction.
Eyelid Lesions & Chalazion Guide →Doctors & Hospital Affiliations
EyeFACE Medical™ is supported by oculoplastic surgeons with hospital practices across Toronto and the GTA. The clinical concern determines whether care belongs at EyeFACE, in hospital, or along a coordinated pathway.

Referring Clinicians
If you have a medical concern, a referral from your MD, OD, or NP is usually the smoothest route. After your referral is processed, Circle™ can help with secure intake, photo upload, updates, and appointment coordination.
Ask your MD, OD, or NP to send a referral. This keeps the medical review clean and helps us route the concern to the right surgeon and setting.
You can start in EyeFACE Circle™ for selected concerns. The EyeFACE team reviews the information and lets you know whether the next step is referral-based care, private elective care, or an in-office assessment.
Some concerns, especially benign-appearing lesions or appearance-driven requests, may be private-pay. We clarify the route before booking so expectations are clear.

Include If Available
Urgent Symptoms
Sudden vision loss, decreased colour vision, severe pain, new double vision, rapid proptosis, significant infection concern, or exposure of the eye should be directed to the nearest emergency department or on-call ophthalmology service rather than a routine referral.
Coverage Note
Functional upper blepharoplasty requests require Ministry of Health prior authorization supported by the required computer-generated visual field report and interpretive report. Coverage is not assumed from symptoms alone. Cosmetic goals such as symmetry, folds, creases, shadows, and fat-pad refinement are planned separately.
Coverage Note
A referral, symptom description, or patient concern can support the assessment, but coverage is not assumed without the required documentation, clinical criteria, and approval pathway.
Lesions & Chalazia
Eyelid lesions and chalazia can be medical, elective, or unclear at the outset. The detailed page explains how EyeFACE separates medical review, exam-first assessment, and private elective removal.

FAQ
Yes. Medical and OHIP-based oculoplastic appointments generally require a referral from a physician, optometrist, or nurse practitioner. Cosmetic consultations are a separate pathway.
No. A referral starts the medical review. Coverage depends on the clinical indication, functional impact, documentation, exam findings, and applicable OHIP rules.
Functional upper blepharoplasty requests require Ministry prior authorization supported by the required visual field documentation. Coverage is not assumed from symptoms alone.
No. EyeFACE Medical™ does not provide routine eye exams, refractions, glasses or contact lens prescriptions, or general eye care.
Sometimes. Suspicious, symptomatic, functionally significant, or medically necessary lesions may follow a medical pathway. Benign-appearing lesions removed mainly for appearance, convenience, or timing preference are usually private-pay.
Photos can help triage, but they cannot prove whether a lesion is benign or cancerous. Medical photos should only be uploaded through the secure link when it is provided.
Need the medical pathway?
Ask your MD, OD, or NP to send a referral. If access is difficult, EyeFACE Circle™ can support secure intake and photo upload for selected concerns.
