Ophthalmomyiasis

Ophthalmomyiasis refers to the invasion of the eye by the larval form of the Diptera order fly. The cases reported to date have often displayed rather typical subretinal migratory tracks that are hypopigmented but show hyperfluorescence with angiography. A 37-year-old soldier had been entirely asymptomatic but displayed unilateral subretinal migratory tracks with areas of pigment clumping in the periphery.
