Scleral transplantation has given excellent results in the surgical repair of eyelid problems. The advantages of using scleral transplantation in repairing eyelid retraction are the relative predictability of the final eyelid position and curve and the decreased incidence of repeated retraction. The characteristics of sclera make it a desirable homologous transplant material for use in transplant surgery.
