  • Title: An eyelash nidus for dacryoliths of the lacrimal excretory and secretory systems.
    Author: Baratz KH, Bartley GB, Campbell RJ, Garrity JA.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1991 May 15; 111(5):624-7. PubMed ID: 2021173.
    Abstract:
    We treated two patients with dacryolithiasis secondary to an eyelash. The first patient underwent dacryocystorhinostomy for a stone within the lacrimal sac. In the second patient the dacryolith was removed from a lacrimal gland ductule. Eyelashes found in the tear film or conjunctival fornices during routine examination should be removed to prevent the possible occurrence of dacryolithiasis.
