Corneal Astigmatism With Upper Eyelid Gold Weight Implantation Using the Combined High Pretarsal and Levator Fixation Technique

Abstract

Implantation of a gold weight in the upper eyelid with the combined high pretarsal and levator fixation technique does not appear to cause a significant change in corneal astigmatism. This is contrary to data for pretarsal gold weight implantation, which does induce significant with-the-rule corneal astigmatism.
