He has designed and refined several surgical procedures and instruments. His clinical research interests include Euthyroid disease, optic nerve disorders, orbital and eyelid tumors, anopthalmos, lacrimal surgery and facial cosmetic surgery.

“Well, the last time I had a picture taken I could hardly see my eyes because of the weight of heavy eyelid. Then I paid attention to how I was actually using my eyes and I really noticed when I was looking at anything especially the computer I was straining my forehead to see better. Since I have had it done I no longer have to lift the forehead and tilt my head to see. It is amazing! I love…” D. Rock 63 Yrs Old with Fat Droopy Eyes – Salt Lake City, UT
TEXTBOOKS BY DR BCK PATEL MD, FRCS
OCULOPLASTIC SURGERY
An ongoing project of Dr BCK Patel to teach modern surgeons the subject of oculoplastic surgery, a specialized branch of plastic surgery. Teaching is best aided by the 2000-year-old method of question-and-answer which has been proven to be better than simply lecturing “one-way”. This dynamic project is continuing to evolve with the textbook being updated, improved and expanded daily.
The aim is to create the most comprehensive textbook on this subject with the most detailed and up-to-date information on this subject.
