| Abstract;Ocular lesion caused by caterpillar spicules are studied and classified based on finding of rearing moth. 1) Ocular lesion are classified into 2 type, ocular injury type which caterpillar spicules directly contact to eye (OI type), conjunctival foreign body type which wind-borne caterpillar spicules contact to palpebral conjunctiva (CF type). 2) 27 cases of OI type that formerly reported and 55 cases of CF type that experienced at Matsubara Eye Clinic in 6 years are compared. OI type and CF type are caused by caterpillar spicules, but symptoms are totally different. 3) Parasa lepida larvae are molting spicules with cast, the spicules are on and around the cocoon during pupation, and the mass of spicules is come off from the dead caterpillars. These spicules are wind-borne and become conjunctival foreifn body. 4) The age-frequency of CF type is similar to which of general conjunctival foreign body. This suggest that onset mechanism of both type are similar. (author abst.) |
