OPHTHALMOMYIASIS

Originally posted on @retina.rocks 01/13/2020

This patient was totally asymptomatic with normal vision when she was referred to us for retinal changes.

The meandering subretinal scarring was caused by a fly larva crawling thru the subretinal space. These eyes show no inflammation.

Learning Points:
Larvae can be found in different parts of the eye including the conjunctiva, cornea, anterior chamber, vitreous, and subretinal space.
