Purpose. To evaluate of functional and cosmetic effectiveness of lower eyelid sling technique with fascia lata graft in @entity1 with lagophthalmos due to @entity3541 . Material and Method. Ten @entity1 with a mean age of 55.1    19.77 years who underwent lower eyelid sling surgery with a fascia lata graft between September 2011 and January 2014 were included in this prospective study. Preoperatively and postoperatively @entity1 were evaluated in terms of corneal epithelial defects, Schirmer's test, and @entity6724 ( @entity6724 ). Cosmetically, vertical eyelid aperture, margin reflex distances 1 and 2 ( @entity25796 and @entity34953 ) and scleral show were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively. Results. One @entity1 had @entity3541 on the right side whereas the other 9 @entity1 had @entity3541 on the left side. Preoperatively, 3 @entity1 were detected with @entity3283 , whereas 7 @entity1 were detected with persistent corneal epithelial defects localized in the lower half of the @entity267 . In the 3 @entity1 with preoperative @entity3283 , the @entity1066 recovered with corneal opacity, whereas in the 7 @entity1 with punctate epitheliopathy, postoperative corneal transparency was obtained. Discussion. Lower eyelid sling technique with fascia lata graft is an effective technique for the repositioning of the lower eyelid and preventing the corneal complications.
