RÉSUMÉ

Hydrogel was a commonly used material for scleral buckling in the early 1980s to the mid-1990s. Use of hydrogel ceased due to a high complication rate, including frequent migration. Various symptoms and clinical findings have been reported with hydrogel migration. There have been no published reports of hydrogel migration to the eyelid anterior to the orbital septum with erosion of the orbicularis and bleeding as a presenting symptom. The authors describe a patient with hydrogel migration to the upper eyelid, with symptomology and clinical findings consistent with a malignant eyelid lesion. Excisional biopsy of extraorbital hydrogel is recommended in these cases.
