Abstract
This report presents a rare case of ocular injury caused by an Asian weaver ant (Oecophylla smaragdina) in a 29-year-old male. The patient sustained a direct ant bite to the conjunctiva, with the ant's mandibles deeply embedded in the tissue. The unique clinical presentation and subsequent surgical removal of the ant en bloc with surrounding conjunctival tissue are described. Postoperative management with topical antibiotics, topical steroids, and oral antibiotics resulted in complete recovery without visual impairment. This case underscores the importance of meticulous foreign body removal in ocular trauma and adds to the limited literature on ant-related eye injuries from this species.
