    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Parasitology

    Background:

    • Ocular toxocariasis is a human eye infection caused by the nematode Toxocara.
    • Visceral larval migrans (VLM) is the systemic form of the disease.
    • Understanding the organism's life cycle and epidemiology is crucial for diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide an updated review of ocular toxocariasis.
    • To familiarize clinicians with the disease's various aspects.
    • To highlight recent advancements in diagnosis and treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of systemic and ocular toxocariasis.
    • Focus on historical aspects, clinical variations, and pathology.
    • Emphasis on new diagnostic techniques and therapeutic interventions.
