title: Tick infestation on the lower eyelid: a case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The tick infestation of the lower lid is a quite rare condition.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a case of a 40 years old caucasian female who presented with the above condition after camping in the Norfolk area, UK.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Tick bite can be responsible for many diseases the most common being Lyme disease which can affect the eyes in several ways. It is still debatable whether or not prophylactic treatment is needed after tick bite.
