Hard contact lens migration into the upper lid: an unexpected lid lump.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Contact lens migration into the upper lid is a rare complication of wearing a hard contact lens.

The 76-month duration of the lesion is, we believe, the longest so far described. The histology and possible natural history of the cyst are also discussed.
