Ophthalmomyiasis interna lentis.
An examination in 1981 of a 62-year-old white woman, who had had decreased vision in the right eye since she was 11 years old, revealed the typical retinal findings of ophthalmomyiasis. The larval exoskeleton was found imbedded temporally in the lens. On reexamination in 1989 no change was found.
