“…Positive eye findings were present in 55% (132), and included retinal vascular tortuosity (46), optic nerve hypoplasia (30), trichomegaly (15), congenital ptosis (12) (bilateral in 7), squint (11), retinal haemorrhages (8), prominent eyes (7), cataract (6), nystagmus (4), megalopapilla (4), coloboma of optic disc or choroid (4), nasolacrimal duct obstruction (3), periorbital cyanosis (3), congenital glaucoma (2), and lens subluxation (2) ( Tables 1 and 2). Cataract, ptosis, and strabismus occurred mainly in the syndromic population: eleven of twelve patients with ptosis, nine of eleven patients with strabismus, and five of six patients with cataract were syndromic ( Table 1).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective. Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a chronic conjunctivitis that affects children mainly in temperate areas, with exacerbations in spring and summer. Eyelashes provide natural protection for the eyes from sunshine, wind, and foreign bodies. These factors induce a worsening of signs and symptoms in VKC, whereas mechanical protection of the eyes produces relief. The aim of this study was to evaluate eyelash length in a large series of VKC patients and in ageand gender-matched healthy subjects.Methods. Upper eyelash length was measured in 93 VKC patients (mean age: 8.7 years; range: 4 -18 years) with a digital caliper. History, clinical form, type of presentation, degree of severity, and drug therapy were evaluated. Skin tests and serum-specific immunoglobulin E for common allergens, serum-total immunoglobulin E, peripheral blood eosinophil counts, and serum eosinophil cationic protein were determined. Two age-and gender-matched control subjects for each VKC patient underwent the same eyelash measurement.Results. The upper eyelashes were significantly longer in VKC patients than in control subjects (mean ؎ SD: 8.9 ؎ 1.17 mm vs 7.9 ؎ 1.07 mm). In healthy subjects, a negative correlation was found between eyelash length and age. With multivariate analysis, unlike control subjects, the eyelash length in VKC patients did not correlate with age, was positively correlated with the degree of severity of VKC, and was negatively correlated with the use of topical cyclosporine.Conclusions. Patients with VKC had longer eyelashes than healthy matched subjects. ABBREVIATIONS.

“…Congenital conditions such as Oliver-McFarlane syndrome (8) , oculocutaneous albinism type I (9) , or familial hypertrichosis (10) are also associated with hypertrichosis. AIDS is among the well-studied systemic causes of trichomegaly (1) , although primarily described during later disease stages.…”

The present study reports two cases of symptomatic essential trichomegaly. Tri chomegaly may develop in various diseases, including anorexia nervosa, hypothyroidism, pregnancy, pretibial myxedema, systemic lupus erythematosus, vernal keratoconjunctivitis, and uveitis. The exact incidence trichomegaly is unknown, and the condition remains sporadically reported. Two cases of symptomatic trichomegaly without any associated systemic disorder are presented in this paper. Nazareth et al. (11) documented 23 medications associated with tri chomegaly. The most common were prostaglandin analogs, cyclosporine, interferon, topiramate and cetuximab. Keywords CONClUSIONTrimming and epilation have been found to be satisfactory and safe therapeutic options. The exact incidence of eyelash trichomegaly is unknown, and the condition is rare and sporadically reported.
