  • Title: The surgical management of dysthyroid related eyelid retraction using Mersilene mesh.
    Author: Downes RN, Jordan K.
    Journal: Eye (Lond); 1989; 3 ( Pt 4)():385-90. PubMed ID: 2691280.
    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.
