Abstract

Prolapse of the lacrimal gland is an involutional change where the lacrimal gland descends into the anterior orbit. It can cause a mechanical ptosis of the eyelid along with an unattractive cosmetic appearance. This can be managed with suture repositioning in an outpatient surgical setting. Other disorders of the eyelid can mask lacrimal gland prolapse, and it is important to identify this problem as a possible incidental finding during other surgical procedures.
