[Modern spacers for the correction of lower eyelid retraction]

Functional and anatomical problems associated with lower eyelid retraction (LER) can significantly affect the patient's vision and quality of life. Numerous methods have been proposed for correcting the position and contour of the lower eyelid; however, surgical management is often challenging and insufficiently effective. One of the widely used approaches is the release of lower eyelid retractors with the use of a spacer graft. This article reviews literature on available spacers for correcting lower eyelid position.
