Abstract
The risk of postoperative lower eyelid malposition is amplified in patients with prominent eyes. Thyroid eye disease, midface hypoplasia, or long axial eye length are common causes of a prominent eye, but it also may be a normal variant. This chapter highlights clinical assessment lower eyelids in the setting of a prominent eye.
