The implantation of eyelid weights in the upper eyelid for treatment of the lagophthalmos in cases of facial paralysis was described for the first time in 1958 by Illig (lid loading). Whereas in the past, only rigid implants made of gold were used, flexible chains made of platinum are now being used frequently to optimize adaptation to the tarsal plate of the upper eyelid. The first step toward assessing the flexibility of the upper eyelid was to determine sonographically the various tarsal diameters of the upper eyelid in healthy eye subjects when the line of vision is changed. In a second step, patients who had received eyelid implants were examined sonographically both pre- and postoperatively to evaluate the curvature response of the upper eyelid after implantation.
