Upper Eyelid Retraction I


Pre - Operative Photograph	Post - Operative - 2 weeks after lowering upper eyelids

Graves' ophthalmopathy generally causes the eyelids to open more widely.
The front surface of the eyeball becomes exposed beyond the eyelids and causes discomfort and excessive tearing; exposure keratopathy.
Surgically repositioning the eyelids can reduce the irritation.
