Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Ophthalmology - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Human myiasis refers to parasitic infestation of body tissues by larvae of several different fly species. It is welldocumented in the literature however ocular myiasis is a condition which is easy to diagnose but at the same time very challenging to manage. We hereby report this entity in a female who presented with complaints of worms coming out from her eyes which was preceded by some dust going in her eyes 4 days back. The patient in this case had already taken out 4 maggots on her own before presenting to the eye out patient department of the hospital.
