Many species cause dirofilariasis i.e., Dirofilaria repens, Dirofilaria immitis, Dirofilaria tenuis of which Dirofilaria repens is the most common causative agent of human dirofilariasis especially in India. The disease is zoonotic in nature; sporadic cases of human dirofilairsis have been reported from various parts of India involving eyes, face, chest wall and lung parenchyma. We report a case of subconjunctival dirofilariasis in a 38 year old male who had only foreign body sensation and redness in left eye. Thus early diagnosis in this patient helped in preventing serious ophthalmic complications.
