Zusammenfassung:An eyelid implant device adapted for placement under an eyelid includes a body having an upper portion and a lower portion, where the upper portion and the lower portion include an asymmetrical weight distribution, such that the lower portion includes an increased weight distribution relative to the upper portion for facilitating the weighting of the eyelid. A plurality of undulations are located on the outer surface of the trapezoidal shaped body and extend in a direction between opposing parallel bases of the body. The eyelid implant is adapted for placement under the eyelid for weighting the eyelid and facilitating eyelid movement, while the plurality of undulations are adapted to restrict post-operative movement of the eyelid implant device relative to the eyelid by contacting with tissue associated with the eyelid during post-operative healing.
