An Outcomes Assessment of the Utility of Belladerm Acellular Dermal Allograft in Ocular Lower Lid Retraction Repair

Use of Non-Cadaveric Human Acellular Dermal Tissue (BellaDerm®) in Lower Eyelid Retraction Repair

The purpose of this study is to Evaluate the efficacy and longevity of a Human-derived, non-cadaveric, acellular dermal implant (BellaDerm) as a posterior spacer graft in the correction of lower eyelid retraction, taking into consideration issues associated with the use of acelular dermis such as contraction and potential regression of repairs.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Lower eyelid retraction, defined as inferior displacement of the lower eyelid margin with inferior scleral show, may be asymptomatic
• May have ocular irritation including foreign body sensation, burning, photophobia and tearing.
• May have aesthetically unsatisfactory eyelid appearance.

Exclusion Criteria:
