ABSTRACT
This article is a review on research prospectives in this subject. Ophthamomyiasis is the term applied to the infestation of the eye by larvae [maggots] of flies of the order Diptera, family Oestridae. On the basis of site of infestation, ophthalmomyiasis may be classified as external, internal and orbital ophthalmomyiasis.
