Abstract :

Ophthalmomyiasis externa is an infestation of the ocular surface with larvae of most common ship nasal boat fly ( Oestrus ovis). It is relatively rare condition.In this case report we describe a 30yr. old female presented with severe irritation,foreign body sensation, redness in right eye of one day duration.Slit lamp examination revealed presence of tiny,translucent larvae crawling in the palpeal conjunctiva, four in number. These larvae were removed under topical anaesthesia with the help of forceps and indentified as first stage larvae of Oestrus ovis causing ophthalmomyiasis externa.Patient was treated with combination of topical steroids and antibiotic therapy.
