abstract
Equine ocular setariosis is an important cause of corneal opacity. A stallion was presented to the department with a history of lacrymation, photophobia and progressive corneal cloudiness on the right eye since last ten days. Clinical examination revealed swirling movement of a white thread like worm in the anterior chamber of the affected eye. A slightly modified needling technique using U-shape hook was used for the removal of eye worm under general anaesthesia. Lacrymation was reduced to normal within seven days and corneal opacity was completely cleared on 14th post-operative day. Animal showed uneventfully recovery and regained complete clear vision on 15th post-operative day.
