Preventing eyelid sag after eye socket fracture surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests two ways to prevent the lower eyelid from sagging after surgery for a broken eye socket. If you need this surgery, it might help reduce a common side effect.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older and in good general health.
- You must have a broken bone in the eye socket (orbital floor) that needs surgery.
- The break may also involve the outer rim of the eye socket, but it must not be part of a larger cheekbone fracture.
- You cannot have had any previous eye socket surgery or injury.
- You cannot have had previous eyelid surgery or any existing eyelid problems.
- You cannot have uncontrolled diabetes, a weak immune system, or take long-term steroids.

This study compares two methods surgeons use to fix a broken bone around the eye (orbital fracture). The goal is to see which approach gives patients a better recovery with fewer side effects.
This study compares two different surgical materials to fix a lower eyelid that is sagging or pulled down. It uses either a donated tissue product (acellular dermal matrix) or a piece of your own eyelid cartilage to help lift the eyelid back into place.
This trial compares two surgical methods (anterior vs posterior approach) for fixing a droopy upper eyelid (ptosis) that is caused by a stretched tendon. It will help determine which technique leads to better outcomes.
This study looks at how different eyelid injuries from trauma are treated and what the results are. It includes people of any age who come to the hospital with a fresh eyelid injury and haven't had any treatment for it yet.
This study uses high-speed video to measure how the upper eyelid moves in children with droopy eyelids (ptosis). It may help doctors better understand eyelid function and improve treatment options.
This trial tests the safety and performance of a special “elastic thread” treatment used to lift facial drooping (mild to moderate ptosis) in people who may or may not have had prior cosmetic treatments. You may benefit by getting the study treatment, but you would need to follow the visit schedule and rules of the study.
