Abstract. Purpose:To report light microscopic and ultrastructural features of Thelazia callipaeda in the human conjunctiva. Case:A 77-year-old female presented with swelling of left eyelids since one month before. Three nematodes were isolated from the conjunctival sac early December. Results:Nematodes were white and thread-like. Transverse cuticular striations covered the whole body. Mouth opening had no tooth, showed a hexagonal profile, and led to non-bifurcated esophagus, nerve center and vulvar opening. Numerous sheathed larvae were present in the uterus. Spicule was not present in the cauda. From these features, the nematodes were identified with female Thelazia callipaeda. Conclusion:Presence of numerous larvated eggs in the female nematoda indicates that they are ready to release first-stage larvae in the next spring season when the vector insects become active.
