The 4\u20130 suture is first passed through and through one end of IV tubing approximately 20 mm in length. Starting on the lateral upper lid and approximately 4 mm above the lash line, the suture is placed through the skin and into the tarsus. The suture exits through the eyelid gray line. These steps through the eyelid are repeated in the opposite direction. An air knot is tied above the upper eyelid near the base of IV tubing. A second air knot can be tied higher to provide a handle easily allowing the caretaker to close the eyelid.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Included were 13 patients (ages 21\u201395-yeas), indications included lagophthalmos secondary to cicatricial changes from burns (2), keratouveitis (1), neurogenic palsy (3), neurotrophic ulcer (6), and cicatricial changes from skin cancer (1). There were no reported difficulties in maintaining the tarsorrhaphy by either family members or healthcare providers. The first tarsorrhaphy for each patient lasted between 3\u201319 weeks, with an average of 8 weeks.
