title: The use of homologous tarsus as a donor graft in lid surgery.
abstract: Several materials have been used to extend the posterior lamella of the eyelids in cases of retraction due to thyroid disease, cicatrix, or loss of tissue. Substances previously used have been autogenous tarsus, mucous membrane, ear or nasal cartilage, and donor sclera or just space. I present the use of homologous bank tarsus, its advantages, limitations, and methods of handling.
