Abstract
A new device for correction of eyelid problems due to facial palsy was studied. Ineffectiveness of the upper eyelid of the paralyzed side for totally closure is called lagophthalmos which may cause drying and irritation8 rabbits were injected with local anesthetics to induce temporary facial palsy and Lagophthalmos. In order to provide functionality to the upper eyelids, Ferromagnetic pieces were placed on the eyelid of the rabbits. The newly designed device moves the eyelids by alternating the steel pieces. The control group didn't wear the device. The device group results and control group results were compared statistically. All animals observed during the experiment and recorded to video tapes. The data collected from video records were analyzed to test the statistical difference between control and the treated group.
