    Distichiasis, an abnormal eyelash growth, can cause allergic rhinoconjunctivitis symptoms. Relieving distichiasis resolved symptoms, which returned as lashes regrew, indicating a link.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Allergology

    Background:

    • Allergic rhinoconjunctivitis presents with ocular and nasal symptoms.
    • Distichiasis involves extra eyelashes growing from meibomian glands, potentially irritating the eye.

    Observation:

    • Three patients presented with distichiasis and symptoms of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis.
    • Symptoms included ocular irritation, tearing, photophobia, lid swelling, rhinorrhea, and nasal congestion.

    Findings:

    • Allergic rhinoconjunctivitis treatment failed until distichiasis was addressed.
    • Symptom recurrence correlated with eyelash regrowth, suggesting a causal relationship.

    Implications:

    • Distichiasis should be considered in patients with refractory allergic rhinoconjunctivitis.
