The report presents a case of subconjunctival filariasis in a 20-year-old female student who schools in Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State, a known loa loa endemic region in Nigeria, and resident in Abuja. The patient presented on the 20th of February 2020 with a history of foreign body sensation and itching on two occasions within a 6-month period and had video evidence of a worm in her left eye. The worm was, however, not visualized in the clinic. She was placed on tabs of Albendazole 20mg twice daily for 21 days and has not felt or seen the worm since she completed the medications. Subconjunctival filariasis is still an issue of concern in the rainforest region of Nigeria.
