title: Eyelash growth after enucleation and evisceration surgery.
abstract: Acquired eyelash hypertrichosis is associated with medications, systemic diseases, and ocular inflammation. The authors present a study showing that eyelash length is significantly longer following enucleation and evisceration surgery compared with the contralateral side. This may be related to factors involved in postoperative conjunctival and orbital inflammation and healing.
