  • Title: [Experience with magnet implantation in lagophthalmos (author's transl)].
    Author: Riehm E, Hinzpeter EN.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1976 Oct; 169(4):524-8. PubMed ID: 994414.
    Abstract:
    The results of magnet implantation in the upper and lower eyelids of 29 patients suffering from Keratopathia due to lagophthalmos due to facial palsy as well as the surgical techniques involved are described. Contrary to a lateral tarsorrhaphy - still popular today - this method does not alter the form or the size of the palpebral fissure nor does it hinder the visual field. It is technically simple to perform and easily reversible should nerve function recover. The subjective results were also good.
