Abstract
- Authors found a case with a slight trauma in which two eye lashes penetrated into the anterior chamber. This 25 years old male patient came to our clinic 2 weeks after trauma on right eye and eyelid, complaining of photophobia, foreign body sensation and ocular pain which were persisted for two weeks. On slit-lamp examination, two eye-lashes on iris surface were found in the anterior chamber of his right eye and a dot like corneal superficial opacity was also found on 6 o'clock meridian near the limbus, but that is questionable whether it is penetrating wound or not. No other foreign body was noticed in the same chamber. The eye lashes were removed surgically and the one of them was carried out by iridectomy. The literatures were briefly reviewed for the mechanism of the penetration of the cilia was very mterestmg.
