Non-surgical Correction of Eye Lid Paralysis With External Magnet Systems
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Magnetic lid system for Blepharoptosis and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 11 participants across 1 site.
Detailed 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.
