Ophthalmomyiasis in a case of basal cell carcinoma of eyelid

Ocular myiasis is a rare disease with invasion of the lids, conjunctiva, cornea and, rarely, orbit or globe of the mammalian eye by dipteral larvae.

We report a case of a 74-year-old woman with chronic, infiltrating, ulcerative lesion of the left lower eyelid, which was confirmed as basal cell carcinoma subsequently, having ophthalmomyiasis.

She was a destitute, living in unhygienic environmental conditions and having poor general health. She developed permanent blindness as a result of ophthalmomyiasis of the left eye. Proper wound care, hygiene and adequate nutrition helped her recover from the illness.
