Abstract. Purpose:To report a case of infestation by Thelazia callipaeda in the conjunctival sac. Case:A 89-year-old male presented with foreign body sensation in the right eye. There were reportedly numerous free-living cats in the neighborhood. Findings:Four motile white worms were present in the lower and two in the upper conjunctival sac of the right eye. They were all manually removed. Three more worms were found and removed 4 weeks later. There has been no recurrence thereafter. Out of 9 worms,one was male and 8 were females. Their length averaged 7.5 mm for the male and 11.6mm for the females. They were identified as Thelazia callipaeda under light microscopy. Sequence of Cox 1 gene in mtDNA partially agreed with two previous reports from Italy and China. Conclusion:This case illustrates that careful follow-up is needed as numerous worms may be present when the conjunctival sac is infested by Thelazia callipaeda.
