Asymptomatic intracameral eyelash: Should we remove it?

We describe a case of an adult male who had a recent non-penetrating injury to the right eye. During routine ophthalmological examination, a faint corneal scar was discovered with an anterior chamber cilium. He recalled a penetrating corneal injury 9 years ago. His affected eye had normal visual acuity without any signs of inflammation or complications caused by the intracameral eyelash. The eye tolerated the anterior chamber eyelash well with no indication for its removal. The risk of intraocular surgery may outweigh the benefits of its removal.
