Abstract

Nematodes are complex multicellular worms approximately 5–100 μm thick and 0.1 mm to less than 2.5 mm long [1]. After entering the body, the nematode can localize to any part of the eye: lids, extraocular tissue, lacrimal gland, anterior chamber, vitreous, retina and subretinal space creating visual problems and destroying the various structures in the eye by mechanical, immunological or allergic reaction or a combination of all these.
