I found out that eyelid springs are indeed made out of orthodontic wire.

However, some eyelid springs are incompatible with MRIs so if you will be having future MRIs a gold or platinum weight would be a better choice.

Thanks Sara.

Definitely good to know.  I don't plan on seeing my eye-guy soon, so now there's one thing less I have to ask him!

Nancy,
Did you like the chain or the regular platinum better and why?
