Abstract

Ectopic eyelid cilia is an uncommon congenital anomaly typically occuring in otherwise healthy children. It is asymptomatic, but parents may wish surgical excision for cosmetic benefits. The authors describe three cases of ectopic upper eyelid cilia, surgical intervention, and follow-up results.
