The main objective was to evaluate the degree and time needed to recover voluntary occlusion and the static effect of transfer on the lower eyelid in cases of partial ectropium and epiphora. In 34 (66,67 por cento) eyes there was completed and lasting voluntary eylid occlusion. The medians of time to obtain complete eyelid closure while were 8 days (1-120) in the excellent group and 14 days (1-120) in the good group. The correction of ectropium and epiphora was seen 15 (83,33 por cento) eyes. The recovery of voluntary eyelid closure and repositioning of lower eylid observed in the majority of our cases confim the efectiveness of the Gallies technique for correction of lagophthalmos. (AU).
