What is an ectopic cilia ?<\/span><\/h2>\n

An ectopic cilium is an eyelash hair that has grown in an abnormal location and is misdirected\u00a0towards the eye surface. These hairs are usually located on the inside of the upper eyelid.\u00a0When the pet blinks, the hair rubs on the surface of the cornea (clear front part of the eye) and\u00a0causes severe pain and oftentimes results in a corneal ulceration (scratch).<\/p>\n

The surgical procedure to remove the abnormal lash involves cutting out a small section of the\u00a0inside of the eyelid (conjunctiva or white part of the eye) in order to remove the hair and hair\u00a0follicle. It is important to have the hair follicle removed instead of simply plucking out the\u00a0offending eyelash because if the follicle remains, the hair will likely grow back.\u00a0Removal of the hair follicle will prevent the same hair from growing back in the same place, but\u00a0it does not prevent new ectopic hairs from growing in different areas in the future. If new\u00a0ectopic cilia grow, then they would need to be removed in the same manner.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ admin_label=”Ligne” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ophtalmoveterinaire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Capture-decran-2017-04-03-a-14.11.03.png” alt=”ectopic cilia, eyelash, follicle, dog” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”Image” _builder_version=”3.23″ animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”left” animation_duration=”500ms” animation_intensity_slide=”10%” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” animation=”left” sticky=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”] [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ophtalmoveterinaire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Capture-decran-2017-04-03-a-14.11.14.png” alt=”ectopic cilia, eyelash, follicle, dog” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”Image” _builder_version=”3.23″ animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”left” animation_duration=”500ms” animation_intensity_slide=”10%” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” animation=”left” sticky=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”] [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ophtalmoveterinaire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Capture-decran-2017-04-03-a-14.11.21.png” alt=”ectopic cilia, eyelash, follicle, dog” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”Image” _builder_version=”3.23″ animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”left” animation_duration=”500ms” animation_intensity_slide=”10%” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” animation=”left” sticky=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”] [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Ligne” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Texte” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]Download the PDF version of the article.<\/a><\/span>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"oculaires_categories":[39],"class_list":["post-12871","maladies_oculaires","type-maladies_oculaires","status-publish","hentry","oculaires_categories-eyelids-and-tears"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nEctopic cilia | Ophtalmov\u00e9t\u00e9rinaire<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ophtalmoveterinaire.com\/en\/ocular_diseases\/ectopic-cilia\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Ectopic cilia | Ophtalmov\u00e9t\u00e9rinaire\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"What is an ectopic cilia ?
