An unusual presentation of caterpillar hair in the angle of anterior chamber

Ophthalmia nodosa is an ocular inflammatory condition triggered by the embedment and migration of insect hairs, most commonly caterpillar setae, into ocular tissues. We report a case of a young male with multiple caterpillar hairs embedded in the cornea, conjunctiva, and the angle of the anterior chamber. Although cases of caterpillar hair in the eye have been reported, the presence of hair in the angle of the anterior chamber is a rare presentation. This case was successfully managed with surgical intervention, including an anterior chamber wash and removal of the hair with forceps, leading to complete recovery.
