Eyelid retraction repair is a surgical procedure performed to correct eyelid retraction, a condition where the upper or lower eyelids are abnormally pulled back, exposing more of the eyeball. This condition can occur due to trauma, thyroid eye disease, or other underlying medical conditions. It can cause both cosmetic issues and functional problems, such as dryness and irritation of the eyes.

The surgery involves repositioning the eyelid and tightening the muscles to restore the normal anatomical position. In some cases, tissue grafts may be used to fill in gaps and prevent recurrence. Eyelid retraction repair is performed under local anesthesia and typically provides significant improvements in both function and appearance.

The procedure has a high success rate, with most patients experiencing improved eyelid position, reduced eye irritation, and enhanced cosmetic appearance.
