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 r elentless penetration of the hairs into the globe, vitrectomy was requ ired. We discuss the differing clinical features of these injuries, th e mode of penetration and the treatment options.
