Paralytic ectropion with marked lagophthalmos on attempted eyelid closure.
Full figure and legend (82K)Figure 5.
This patient complained of poor cosmesis and restricted visual field from her lateral tarsorrhapy, despite adequate corneal protection.
Full figure and legend (86K)Figure 6.
The lateral tarsorrhapy was reversed and the upper lid lowered to decrease the palpebral aperture.
Full figure and legend (89K)Figure 9.
Complete eyelid closure post gold weight insertion—there is partial erosion of the gold weight.
Full figure and legend (107K)Figure 11.
Pre- and post-lateral canthal sling and medial canthal Royce–Johnston suture.

Pre- and post-lateral canthal sling and medial canthal Royce–Johnston suture.
Full figure and legend (105K)Figure 13.
The Royce–Johnston (RJ) suture. A double-armed 5/0 prolene passed from the tarsal plate, using a large-diameter free surgical needle supero-medially towards the periosteum of the posterior lacrimal crest. The suture ends were brought out through the skin, tied and buried.

Right aponeurotic ptosis in a patient with previous facial nerve palsy.
Full figure and legend (243K)Figure 16.
Exacerbation of the ptosis due to aberrant regeneration resulting in co-contraction of orbiculari oris & oculi.
Full figure and legend (259K)Figure 17.
Post hypoglossal–facial anastomosis. There is little sign of facial weakness at rest.
Full figure and legend (207K)Figure 18.
Post hypoglossal–facial anastomosis. Weakness of eyelid closure with lagophthalmos.
Full figure and legend (221K)Figure 19.
Post hypoglossal–facial anastomosis. Full eyelid closure is achieved when the patient moves his tongue to the contralateral side.
