Abstract
Ophthalmia nodosa is a well-documented condition. We present a case in which a live caterpillar was rubbed into a patient's eye and, after relentless penetration of the hairs into the globe, vitrectomy was required. We discuss the differing clinical features of these injuries, the mode of penetration and the treatment options.Entities:
