A dermoid is a benign, congenital growth where normal skin tissue, which can include hair follicles and glands, mistakenly develops in abnormal locations on the eye. This typically affects the cornea, which is the clear outer surface of the eye, or the conjunctiva, the pink membrane lining the eyelids. Because this misplaced skin tissue often grows hair, it causes constant irritation to the eye's surface.
Symptoms are usually noticed during puppyhood. Owners will typically see a visible, hairy patch on the eyeball, accompanied by persistent tearing, squinting, and redness from the hair rubbing against the eye.
This condition is highly treatable with a one-time surgical removal of the tissue, often diagnosed using an ECVO eye exam. The surgery is curative, and treatment typically costs between €600 and €2,500.
