Abstract

This article presents a case of tick infestation of the lower eyelid. A 58-year-old female presented to Ophthalmology OPD at Nepalgunj medical college with a small whitish lesion on medial aspect of the left lower eyelid since 7 days. On a detailed ocular examination, a tick was found to be masquerading as a pustule. This case report emphasizes the relation of tropical diseases in ophthalmology and the subsequent need of understanding the pathophysiological aspect of tropical diseases to avoid further systemic complications. © Indian Society for Parasitology 2020.
