A seed tick infestation of the conjunctiva: Amblyomma americanum larva.

D Bodé, P Speicher, H Harlan.   

Abstract

Ticks commonly infest humans but rarely bite the eyes. They are vectors of disease; therefore, rapid and complete removal is important. Their attachment can be so secure that removal is difficult or hazardous. We excised a larval form of Amblyomma americanum from a woodsman's conjunctiva.
