Median tarsorrhaphy is done to cover the cornea temporarily in exposurekeratitis, to protect the cornea in paralysis of the orbicularis muscle and afteroperations on the root of the trifacial nerve. The middle of the margins ofthe lids are denuded of conjunctiva, for a distance of 5 mm., just posteriorto the ciliary margins, and sewed together with silk. The edges unite andthe cornea may be inspected by turning the eye inward or outward and exam-ining through the narrow chink on either side.
