A subconjunctival orbital fat prolapse , an extremely rare condition , is herniation of intraconal orbital fat due to an acquired weakening of Tenon’s capsule by ageing , trauma or surgery. Trauma or an incision into tenon’s capsule more than 10mm from limbus may result in extrusion of intraconal fat into sub-tenon’s space and subconjunctival space . Here we have reported a case of 75 years male with bilateral spontaneous supero-temporal orbital fat prolapse since 10 years. Surgery is considered for irritative symptoms or for cosmetic purpose. The differential diagnosis includes conjunctival lymphoma , dermolipoma ,lacrimal gland tumour
