Abstract

A 16-year-old White girl presented with a foreign-body sensation in her right eye. Seven Oestrus ovis maggots were removed with the aid of a cotton wool-tipped probe. The subsequent history has been quite uneventful. This appears to be the fifth reported case of ophthalmomyiasis externa in southern Africa.
