Abstract:
The use of Mersilene mesh as a spacer material in the surgical management of seven patients with dysthyroid-related eyelid retraction is presented. To date, fourteen eyelids have been operated on using this material with an average follow-up of nine months. It appears that Mersilene mesh is a realistic alternative to preserved sclera in the surgical management of such cases.
