Abstract
Contact lens migration into the upper lid is a rare complication of wearing a hard contact lens. We present a case in which the only complaint was the cosmetically unacceptable appearance of a lump in the upper lid. 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.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
