| Abstract |
Migration of a rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens after trauma is rare, and its clinical characteristics have not been fully discussed. A 36-year-old female showed mild swelling in the right upper eyelid. She lost her RGP contact lens seven months prior to her first visit, from trauma by her child's kick to the right eye. At the first examination, we felt a firm lump inferior to the right brow. Eversion of the upper eyelid also revealed a firm subconjunctival mass superior to the upper tarsus. After incising the conjunctiva, the RGP contact lens was found without a fibrous capsule and granulation tissue in the subconjunctival space. Three years after removal of the lens, the patient did not show any complications, including ptosis. The RGP contact lens in the present case migrated into the subconjunctival space superior to the upper tarsus without a fibrous capsule and granulation tissue. These findings are similar to those in previously reported traumatic cases but are different from those in some spontaneous migration cases. This difference may be caused by differences in the migration mechanisms. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 35. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 August 2018.
All research outputs
#987,406
of 22,881,964 outputs
Outputs from BMC Ophthalmology
#11
of 2,359 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#20,265
of 339,113 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Ophthalmology
#1
of 31 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,881,964 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 95th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,359 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.7. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 339,113 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 31 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its contemporaries.
