Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Ophthalmomyiasis in humans is a rare phenomenon.
OBJECTIVES: To create awareness among the ophthalmologists regarding larval conjunctivitis.
CASES: We report two cases of ophthalmomyiasis, which came to a tertiary care centre with features of unilateral acute catarrhal conjunctivitis.
OBSERVATIONS: Fly larvae were detected on slit-lamp examination and removed after immobilizing them with topical 4 % lignocaine. Topical antibiotics and steroid drops were prescribed for 2 weeks. The samples were identified as Oestrous ovis by the entomology department of the Institute of Tropical Medicine, Kolkata. The signs and symptoms regressed within 48 hours.
CONCLUSION: The ocular myiasis can manifest as a unilateral catarrhal conjunctivitis.
