Abstract
Ophthalmomyiasis is infestation of the eye by fly larva which leads to variable clinical presentations depending on the scale of penetration, species of the fly, and the involved ocular framework. A case of accidental external ophthalmomyiasis, who presented with symptoms mimicking of an acute catarrhal conjunctivitis, is being reported, which was managed with prompt mechanical removal of the larva under topical anesthesia along with supportive treatment. The patient had rapid recovery in the follow up with subsequent microbiological taxonomic identification of the retrieved larvae as of Musca domestica (housefly).
