  • (20) Lid margin splitting at the gray line with resection of the lash-bearing anterior lamella of the eyelid is a simple and effective treatment for cicatricial entropion and trichiasis.

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.

  • (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.

  • (11) Inoculation into mouse eyelids produced intraocular, orbital, and lethal systemic chronic progressive inflammatory disease.
  • (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).
