Abstract :

Many types of foreign bodies can enter the eye and get stuck on to the cornea. 1 We report a case of unusual corneal foreign body in a 35 year old healthy male patient, presented to eye clinic with complaints of sudden onset of ocular discomfort, foreign body sensation and watering for couple of days. On clinical examination he was found to have a retained corneal foreign body suggestive of an arthropod. Thus a pseudo infestation can be considered as differential diagnosis of corneal foreign bodies.2
