Lagophthalmos

Description

Lagophthalmos, also known as eyelid closure defect or incomplete eyelid closure, is a condition where one or both eyelids cannot fully shut, either while blinking or during sleep (often called nocturnal lagophthalmos). This leaves the surface of the eye exposed, leading to symptoms such as eye dryness, irritation, redness, excessive tearing, and sensitivity to light. Over time, lack of proper eyelid closure can cause more serious complications like corneal damage, blurred vision, or infections. Common causes of lagophthalmos include facial nerve paralysis (as seen with Bell's palsy or stroke), complications from prior eyelid surgeries such as blepharoplasty, trauma, thyroid eye disease (Graves' disease), or scarring. If untreated, lagophthalmos can threaten vision and overall eye health, but expert eyelid correction procedures performed by skilled oculoplastic surgeons in Korea can restore natural eye closure, protect your sight, and improve comfort and appearance.

Procedures that treat this ailment: Canthoplasty, Eyelid Fat Grafting, Eyelid Retraction Repair, and Laser Canthoplasty
