- Abstract
Purpose: To report the clinical course of ophthalmia nodosa with a retained lenticular seta misdiagnosed and treated as non-infectious posterior uveitis for 7 consecutive years. Methods: Meticulous clinical examination led to discovery of the caterpillar seta embedded in the crystalline lens and the intravitreal setae. Results: Lens-sparing pars plana vitrectomy and removal of free-floating vitreal seta resulted in complete resolution of vitritis and uveitis. Conclusion: Embedded seta within a clear lens may remain sequestered, and may be left untouched under close observation, precluding a clear lens extraction in such patients.
