Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Patients will be included if they undergo lower eyelid retraction repair requiring a spacer graft between July 1, 2019 and July 1, 2022 .
  • * Patients will be excluded if they are younger than 18 years old, required concurrent surgeries (e.g., midface lift or full thickness skin graft) or required further surgeries on the operated eyelid within the 6 months postoperatively. In addition, patients with less than 1-month follow up will be excluded from all outcome analysis and those without postoperative 6-month data will be excluded from the postoperative month 6 MRD2 calculation.
