Weight implants have been used for over 30 years in surgical rehabilitation following lagophthalmos. However, there has been a renewed interest among ophthalmologists in recent years. The weight implant technique combined with lateral canthus resuspension was performed on 22 eyes in Thai patients. It is a reliable method for correcting lagophthalmos and ectropion. In previous studies almost pure gold was used in 99.99% of eyelid implants. However, we wanted to use other materials which are not expensive and are readily available. A stainless steel plate was selected. The majority of our surgeries were done with a stainless steel weight implant of 1.368 g. Patients were followed for 7 to 55 months, and no rejections of the implants were observed. This study achieved a > or = 90% success rate, and showed that a stainless steel plate is an alternative to gold for the weight implant technique.
