Summary

Objective 1: Determine the safety and feasibility of externally mounted magnets for extended management of chronic eyelid movement disorders by measuring visual acuity and corneal and skin integrity and comfort over 8 weeks of wear. Objective 2: Collect preliminary data on the relative efficacy of external magnetic devices by comparing them to externally mounted lid weights and ptosis crutches using rating scales and video analysis of blink biomechanics.

Conditions

  • Blepharoptosis
  • Lagophthalmos
  • Facial Paralysis

Interventions

DEVICE

Magnetic lid system

Small externally mounted magnetic lid arrays are attached to the eye lid (s). Glasses with a second magnet system may be combined with the arrays depending on the lid condition. The device intends to facilitate eye opening and closing.
