Notes:
Summary A retrospective study of 11 patients with facial paralysis was undertaken. Correction of lagophthalmos was accomplished by inserting a dental gold weight into the upper eyelid. All weights were assessed and adjusted to fit the patient's individual need. The primary objective was to achieve adequate eyelid closure and corneal protection. The advantages and disadvantages we experienced with this procedure are discussed.
