Summary
Ophthalmomyiasis, an eye infestation by fly larvae, can occur in urban settings. Prompt identification and management are crucial to prevent vision loss, especially with species like Oestrus ovis.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Medical Entomology
Background:
- Ophthalmomyiasis is the infestation of the eye by fly larvae (maggots).
- Oestrus ovis is a common causative agent, typically found in rural environments.
- Cases in urban areas highlight the need for broader awareness.

Glaucoma: Overview
1.0K
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

Muscles of the Eye
2.7K
The muscles of the eye are sophisticated structures that control eye movement and focus, allowing for the precise and rapid adjustments necessary for vision. The human eye is controlled by ten muscles — six extraocular muscles, three intraocular muscles, and one primary eyelid retractor muscle.
Extraocular Muscles
The six extraocular muscles surround the eyeball and control its movements. They are responsible for a wide range of eye motions, including looking up, down, left, right, and...
