Pictures & Perspectives Ophthalmomyiasis Interna A healthy 52-year-old Filipino man presented complaining of “black lines” in his vision for 3 days. Best corrected Snellen visual acuity was 20/200 in his right eye and 20/25 in his left eye. The left eye was normal, but in the right eye he had 3e4þ anterior chamber cell and a small hypopyon. On dilated fundus examination a crisscrossing pattern of depigmentation was seen tracking throughout the fundus, as seen in Figure 1 (Optos P200TX, Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland). He was diagnosed with ophthalmomyiasis interna. A clump of vitreous debris compatible with decomposing botfly larval remnants was seen. Treatment with topical and systemic corticosteroids resolved the inflammation; however, his visual acuity only somewhat improved due to involvement of his fovea.
