AbstractThe results of using an implant (weight) for upper eyelid loading to correct paralytic lagophthalmos in patients with chronic facial palsy are presented 7 patients (7 eyes) were included into the study. The weight was implanted into the upper eyelid and fixed to the tarsal plate. No intra- and postoperative complications caused by weight implantation into the upper eyelid were observed during 12 months of follow-up. The first experience of using of this method indicates an opportunity of effective lagophthalmos correction and significant corneal improvement.
