As a kind of zoonosis, thelaziasis is caused by Thelazia callipaeda , which is parasitic on lacrimal duct and conjunctival sac of humans, dogs, cats and other hosts. As its distribution is mainly in Asian countries, thelaziasis is also called the oriental eyeworm disease. Initial cases in humans were first noted in Beijing and Fujian in 1917[1]. In the past, thelaziasis got less focus on due to low incidence and narrow distribution. With constantly increasing reports and genetic researches these days, more and more understanding to this disease has been obtained and applied to clinical work. In order to share the experience of diagnosis and treatment of human ocular thelaziasis, we reported a case of human ocular thelaziasis and reviewed related literature.
