    Ophthalmomyiasis externa, an eye infection caused by fly larvae, can lead to conjunctivitis. This case study shows paraffin oil effectively immobilizes the external eye larvae.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Parasitology
    • Medical Entomology

    Background:

    • Ophthalmomyiasis externa is a rare condition involving fly larvae infestation of the external eye.
    • Conjunctivitis can be a presenting symptom of ocular parasitic infections.

    Observation:

    • A case of ophthalmomyiasis externa is described, presenting with conjunctivitis.
    • Visible larvae were observed on the ocular surface.

    Findings:

    • The identified larvae were confirmed to be external parasites.
    • Paraffin oil was utilized to immobilize the ocular larvae.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of recognizing ophthalmomyiasis externa in cases of conjunctivitis.
