Abstract
This report presents a rare case of a 25-year-old man with a Taenia solium worm found under the conjunctiva of his left eye. The patient had experienced redness, pain, itching, and epiphora in the affected eye. Subsequent examination revealed conjunctival congestion and a moving whitish linear formation, which was diagnosed as subconjunctival ocular parasitosis. The patient underwent successful surgical removal of the parasite and recovered without complications. The report highlights the importance of early diagnosis and prompt treatment to prevent permanent vision loss in cases of ocular parasitosis.
