Official Title: Non-surgical Correction of Eye Lid Paralysis With External Magnet Systems

Brief Summary: Objective 1: Determine the safety and feasibility of externally mounted magnets for extended management of chronic eyelid movement disorders by measuring visual acuity and corneal and skin integrity and comfort over 8 weeks of wear. Objective 2: Collect preliminary data on the relative efficacy of external magnetic devices by comparing them to externally mounted lid weights and ptosis crutches using rating scales and video analysis of blink biomechanics.
