A member asked:
Does the conjunctiva have eyelashes protruding from it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There is a rare tumor called a dermoid which can occur on the conjunctiva which may have hairs protruding from it. The normal conjunctiva does not incorporate hair production cells, although leashes may stick to it in certain circumstances.
