Abstract:
Morbidity and outcome after gold weight insertion into the upper eyelid in patients with lagophthalmos were assessed retrospectively by patient questionnaire and case-note review. Results indicated that although satisfaction with the lid and overall facial appearance was high, complications and symptoms attributable to the gold weights were not uncommon.
