Abstract:
We describe a new surgical instrument and its use in the lateral tarsal sling procedure. We reviewed the charts of 23 cases of such surgery over 5 years and found its use to be an effective means of correcting horizontal eyelid laxity, with a low rate of complications. This approach provides a safe and effective alternative to the lateral tarsal strip procedure.
