We report two cases with ectopic cilia. A 66-year-old female presented with 6-month history of conjunctival hyperemia and irritation in her left eye. Slit-lamp examination revealed several black cilia and soft hairs protruding from the fornix of the left lower conjunctiva. The mass was removed under topical anesthesia. A 14-year-old boy presented with 2-month history of conjunctival hyperemia and irritation in his left eye. Slit-lamp examination revealed a hair located in the palpebral conjunctiva of the upper lid with bulbar conjunctival hyperemia in the left eye. The cilia was plucked out without topical anesthesia. Ectopic cilia are a rare condition. Clinicians should be aware of ectopic cilia as a cause of irritation, tearing, and bulbar conjunctival hyperemia.
