Abstract

Parasitic diseases are prevalent in various parts of the globe, and specific isolation of these organisms is essential. They can be found in the lids, orbit , subconjunctiva, Tenon’s layer, anterior chamber, vitreous , as well as in the subretinal space , and can cause severe inflammation and damage to external and internal structures of the eye. As soon as the parasite is located, prompt removal should be done. Migration of the worm into deeper and surgically inapproachable areas causes severe damage. Appropriate diagnosis and prompt management is needed for effective outcomes, thereby saving vision.

In our video we will be showing the removal of parasite from eyelids, subconjunctival space and anterior chamber along with laser photocoagulation of the subretinal parasite.
