Because of its distribution mainly confined to South Asian countries and Russia, it is commonly known as Oriental Eye worm. It is often under-reported and not been given its due clinical importance. We report first case of human Thelaziasis from Hassan District, Karnataka. Five creamy-white, translucent worms were removed from the conjunctival sac of a 74-year-old male patient. Based on morphological characters, the worms were identified as nematodes belonging to the genus\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Thelazia<\/jats:italic>\n                    and speciation was confirmed by CDC, Atlanta as\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">callipaeda<\/jats:italic>\n                    .
