Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Margin reflex distance 1;Cosmetic results lid contour, height symmetry, lid crease;Lagophthalmos	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
exposure keratopathy;Ocular Surface Evaluation A. Schirmer’s test 2: This is performed with Schirmer tear test strips without anesthetic eyedrops. A result =10 mm after 5 minutes was considered normal. B. Tear break-up time (TBUT): This is determined by the number of seconds that elapse between the last blink and the appearance of the first superficial punctate keratitis. A TBUT result >10 seconds is considered normal.15 C. Fluorescein staining: This is performed by the application of a fluorescein strip to the lower fornix, and the extent of staining is scored on a scale of 0–3 according to the stained area: 0 = no staining, 1 = staining of less than one-third of the cornea, 2 = staining of one third to two-thirds of the cornea, and 3 = staining of more than two-thirds of the cornea.	—
