(10) The retracted lower eyelid is tight in contrast to the lax lower eyelid of the common involutional ectropion.
(11) The Wies procedure may be complicated by an overcorrection, which is in effect a cicatricial ectropion.
(12) Ectropion and scleral show are the most common complications following lower lid blepharoplasty.
(13) For skin excision cases, the pinch technique for raising the cuff of redundant skin of the lower lid has been found helpful, particularly in the older patient with latent senile ectropion.

(16) An ectropion repair can then be combined with the blepharoplasty surgical operation.
(17) In the patients with simple total maxillectomy, cicatricial contracture of the facial skin and cicatricial ectropion of the lower eyelid were quite small, and in the patients with extended total maxillectomy, reconstructed facial skin did not give rise to cicatricial contracture.
(18) Disturbances such as ectropion, entropion and trichiasis may be regarded as the results of aims of breeding.
(19) If wearers of contact lenses present with secretion and incompatibility of the contact lens, simple ectropionation of the upper eyelids often is sufficient to diagnose a giant papillary conjunctivitis as the cause.
(20) It is useful to treat medial ectropions that have horizontal laxity along with cicatricial components and has successfully relieved this condition in eight patients.
Eyelid
Definition:
(n.) The cover of the eye; that portion of movable skin with which an animal covers or uncovers the eyeball at pleasure.
Example Sentences:
(1) Surface EMGs at rest and at voluntary eyelid opening after eyelid closing were investigated.
(2) The goat isolates were obtained from animals with various disease conditions including respiratory tract disorders, vulvovaginitis, and wart-like lesions on the eyelid.
(3) One patient with the disease localised to the eyelid had normal EMG responses when monitored on the hand with ulnar nerve stimulation.
(4) The "lazy-T" technique consists of a surgical horizontal and vertical shortening of the involved portion of the lower eyelid.
(5) 200 patients who were diagnosed to have bacterial conjuntivitis (111 cases), corneal ulcers (39 cases), dacryocystitis (34 cases) or infections of the eyelids (16 cases) at the ophthalmology department of our university were taken as the patient group and there were 100 normal people in the control group.
(6) Paralytic lagophthalmos was corrected using gold weights inserted into the upper eyelid.
(7) A simplified procedure is described whereby tissue is removed via a posterior eyelid approach so that the eyelid may be tightened both horizontally and vertically, thus inverting the punctum and fixating it in the lacrimal lake.
(8) Because of the extensive soft-tissue and osseous involvement, all patients required composite resection of the orbit, the ethmoidal sinus, the orbital contents, and the soft tissue of the eyelids, brow, and temporal region.

(12) Double composite grafting is a technique used in the repair of large (greater than 75%) eyelid defects due to tumor resection, trauma, or congenital coloboma.
(13) Some birds were subjected to unilateral eyelid-suture, a protocol which usually induces axial lengthening and corneal bulging.
(14) Several procedures have been developed to restore closure of the paralyzed upper eyelid (implantation of gold weights or open wire springs) or to correct lower lid lagophthalmos and ectropion (lower lid tightening with a Bick procedure or insertion of a closed eyelid spring).
(15) We hypothesize that the lower overnight swelling with the silicone lenses is a result of reduced resistance to oxygen flow from the eyelid capillaries to the corneal epithelial cells possibly due to decreased tear film thickness.
(16) The pinch technique has been found to be useful in repairing cosmetic eyelid deformities.
