First seen Jun 04, 2026 · Last updated Jun 17, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This early study tests a new spring made from surgical stitches to help people with facial nerve palsy close their eyelid. The spring is placed under the skin near the eyelid center, without attaching to bone. Ten adults who cannot blink due to nerve damage will try it, aiming to reduce the need for hourly eye drops and protect the cornea.
