Abstract:
This photo essay describes a patient with eyelashes perpendicular to the extruding part of a porous polyethylene orbital implant. The upright position of these eyelashes created the impression of growth on the extruding implant, but they are lost eyelashes that became entrapped in the pores of the implant.
