PURPOSE: To describe a patient with a tolerated cilium in the anterior chamber. METHODS: A 15-year-old girl, referred with a 5-year trauma history, was examined. A cilium was noted in the anterior chamber without any inflammation during routine ophthalmological examination. RESULTS: The cilium was removed surgically and the prognosis was excellent. CONCLUSION: The decision to remove a cilium surgically is controversial and must be based on the individual clinical examination.
