Preventing lower eyelid sag after eye socket surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to prevent the lower eyelid from sagging or turning outward after surgery for a broken eye socket. It aims to find the better method to keep the eyelid in its normal position during healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and generally healthy without chronic or uncontrolled diseases.
- You have a fresh (first-time) injury to the eye socket, specifically a fracture of the orbital floor, with or without a fracture of the side rim near the outer corner of the eye.
- You have not had any previous surgery on your lower eyelid or previous eye socket trauma.
- You do not have any pre-existing eyelid problems, such as the eyelid turning outward or inward, or other lower eyelid or outer corner abnormalities.
- You do not have uncontrolled diabetes, a weakened immune system, are not on long-term steroids, and do not have collagen vascular diseases.
- You have not had radiation therapy to the face or eye area.

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 compares two types of stitches used during eyelid surgery to fix drooping eyelids. It aims to see which stitch keeps the eyelid height stable after surgery, which could help improve long-term results for patients.
This study uses a high-speed camera to watch how the upper eyelid moves in children with droopy eyelids (ptosis). The goal is to better understand eyelid motion, which may help improve future treatments.
This study compares a new non-surgical treatment called Ziplyft with traditional eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) to reduce extra skin on the upper eyelids. It may be a good option for people who want to refresh their eyes without a full surgery.
