Thyroid Eye Disease & Orbital Conditions
Miss Ting is a highly experienced orbital surgeon based in London, with specialist expertise in treating conditions that affect the eye socket, such as thyroid eye disease, orbital tumours, and prosthetic eye surgery. She has received international awards for her research in thyroid eye disease. As one of the few surgeons in London with dedicated orbital surgical experience, Miss Ting offers advanced, personalised care with a focus on restoring comfort, confidence, and appearance.
Thyroid eye disease
Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) is a condition often linked to thyroid imbalance, where the body’s immune system causes inflammation around the eyes. This can lead to symptoms such as bulging eyes, dryness, double vision, eye pain, or changes in eyelid position. Miss Michelle Ting offers a comprehensive range of treatments for TED, including medical therapies and advanced surgical options such as orbital decompression and eyelid correction. She is a recognised expert in this field, having twice received the prestigious Bartley Frueh Award for excellence in Thyroid Eye Disease research. Miss Ting also leads national clinical trials for TED at the Royal Free Hospital in London, ensuring her patients benefit from the latest evidence-based treatments and innovations in care.
Orbital decompression
Orbital decompression is a specialist surgical procedure used to treat eye bulging (proptosis), most often caused by Thyroid Eye Disease. By removing small amounts of bone and fat from the eye socket, the surgery helps reduce pressure behind the eyes, improve comfort, and restore a more natural appearance. Miss Michelle Ting is highly experienced in orbital surgery and offers the modern ab interno decompression technique to achieve both safe and aesthetically sensitive results.
Orbital tumours
Miss Ting offers expert diagnosis and surgical management of orbital tumours, both benign and malignant. As one of the few oculoplastic surgeons in London with dedicated orbital surgical experience, she is skilled in performing complex tumour excisions while preserving vision, eye movement, and appearance. Patients benefit from coordinated care, including imaging, biopsy, and referral to specialist oncology teams when needed, ensuring safe and comprehensive treatment.
Prosthetic (Artificial) Eye Surgery
Miss Ting offers expert care for patients who have lost an eye, or are considering eye removal (known as evisceration or enucleation). She works closely with skilled ocularists to ensure that your prosthetic (artificial) eye fits comfortably and looks as natural as possible. For those who experience changes in the eye socket over time — such as a sunken appearance or difficulty wearing a prosthetic — Miss Ting provides gentle and effective treatments to rebuild the socket and improve both comfort and appearance. She understands that losing an eye can be emotionally challenging, and offers compassionate support throughout the process, with access to psychological care where needed.
