title: [Ocular myiasis (author's transl)].
abstract: We must consider: -- Superficial ocular myiasis affecting the lacrymal cul-de-sac and ducts and caused by oestridae larvae growing on conjunctiva or lacrymal ducts. -- Deep ocular myiasis affecting either the eyelids or the ocular globe and due to larvae pertaining to several families of flies and requiring an anaerobic phase in their development. This type of myiasis must be separated in two groups according to their localization in the camera anterior or in the camera posterior. Sometimes larvae are very, numerous and demonstrate a high potential of spreading and a phagedena. Surgical treatments are indicated.
