External Eyelid Weights

External eyelid weights provide those with lagophthalmos as a result of temporary facial paralysis with an immediate and easy to apply treatment. They can be quickly attached to the upper eyelid with the use of the MedDev EyeClose™ double-sided, hypoallergenic adhesive strips.

For the most effective external treatment of lagophthalmos, external eyelid weights provide continuous and reliable corneal protection with improved patient comfort. Wearing external eyelid weights for as long as lagophthalmos persists decreases a patient’s reliance on ophthalmic ointments and lubricants, and the need for occlusion therapy may be eliminated.
