title: [Indication for tarsorrhaphi in lagophthalmos].
abstract: Tarsorrhaphy is at present rarely indicated in lagophthalmos surgery. Newly developed techniques give at least as much protection to the eye as tarsorrhaphy and are clearly preferable cosmetically. Tarsorrhaphy continues to be indicated in transient facial pareses.
