Clinical Trial to Improve the Magnetic Levator Prosthesis

Neodymium magnet embedded in a glasses frame and a polymer embedded (PDMS) micro-magnet array fitted externally to the upper lid with IV 3000 securement film. The IV 3000 is FDA approved for extended wear on the skin. Tegaderm, which is essentially the same adhesive, is even FDA approved as an eye covering (we used Tegaderm in early studies but switched to IV 3000 for its superior ease of handling based on packaging technique).
