A Novel Percutaneous Surgical Approach Using Silicone Sheets for Lower Eyelid Lengthening: A Descriptive Case Series
A novel surgical technique using silicone-sheet spacers for lower eyelid elongation showed promising results in reducing ocular surface damage and improving patient outcomes. Despite its potential benefits over traditional methods, further large-scale, multicenter studies, including clinical trials, with diverse study populations are needed to generate robust data to validate and expand the applicability of this technique for managing lower eyelid retraction, particularly when involving eyelash contact with the ocular surface.
