Presentation
Discussion In polycoria, multiple pupillary openings are present in theiris. It is generally an isolated congenital abnormality andmay be either true or pseudo-polycoria. [docslide.net]
Available from: Sir, A 16-year-old girl and her 2-year-old brother presented for clinical evaluation of long eyeleshes. The increased eyelash growth had been present since birth in both siblings [Figure 1] and [Figure 2]. [ijdvl.com]
Severe cases may present with visual discomfort, mechanical ptosis, and corneal ulcers as a result of trichiasis. [4] However, epilation and trimming of the long eyelashes have been reported as effective treatment options. [ijpd.in]

Gray in 1944 in a publication in the Stanford Medical Bulletin, [2] though he was only the third person to characterize the disorder; the first two reports were published in German in 1926 and 1931 by Reiter and Bab, respectively. [3] Gray suggested the [en.wikipedia.org]
A review of ocularand systemic associations in trichomegaly was conducted.Our patient had localized hypertrichosis of the lasheswith eyebrow and body hair distribution appearing normal.There were no features suggestive of Brachman de Langeor Goldstein [docslide.net]
It has been also suggested that patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection and allergic diseases would have long and silky eyelashes whereas epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors would lead to coarse and tortuous eyelashes. [4] Patients [ijpd.in]
[…] cyclosporine, tacrolimus, topical prostaglandins, topiramate, zidovudine and epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors such as cetuximab, erlotinib, gefitinib and panitumumab may cause overgrowth of the eyelashes as a side effect. [4] It has been also suggested [ijdvl.com]

Prognosis
Although spectrum of mutations in CYP1B1 have been implicated in PCG Very few reported genotype phenotype correlations Frameshift and R 390C are associated with severe phenotypes and poor prognosis IOVS April 2004 ;45 :1149-56 19. [slideshare.net]
Prognosis depends on the cause. The most common types of excessive hair growth persist life-long. Hirsutism tends to be more pronounced with age. [dermnetnz.org]
The prognosis is related to the pathological events associated with the hair disorder, in particular to the epilepsy and cardiac or renal anomalies. [ijponline.biomedcentral.com]

Prevention
How can hirsutism and hypertrichosis be prevented? It is not yet possible to prevent genetically predetermined excessive hair growth. Insulin resistance associated with obesity can be reduced by weight loss and dietary control. [dermnetnz.org]
