“Seeing well. Looking even better.”
Oculoplastic & Reconstructive Surgery is a specialization within Ophthalmology that focusses on the diagnoses and treatment of the ocular adnexa. This consists of all pathology of the eyelids, tear production and drainage system and the bony orbit that houses the eye and the ocular muscles as well as aesthetic treatments of the eyelids and face.
"Dr. van der Veen explained me very clearly how the surgery would be performed and I immediately decided to put me in his hands. The result looks perfect and his manners are flawless. I recommend him 100%." Upper eyelid blepharoplasty; Lidia, Barcelona.

The combination of my Dutch training and pragmatism and the Mediterranean warmth and approachability, make for a very pleasant patient experience.”
