Eyelid Retraction Repair

Eyelid retraction can affect the upper or the lower eyelid.  Eyelid retraction occurs when the eyelid is pulled away from the eyeball, either too far up in the case of the upper eyelid or too far down in the case of the lower eyelid.  Common causes of eyelid retraction include thyroid eye disease, trauma, or previous surgery to the eyelids.

Repair of the eyelid retraction depends on the cause and the degree of severity.  Releasing the eyelid itself may correct the problem or sometimes placement of grafts into the eyelid may be necessary.  The specific treatment is determined after a detailed consultation with Dr. Neufeld.
