چکیده
OPHTHALMIA nodosa is defined as an inflammatory reaction in the eye to hairs of certain insects or vegetable material and derives its name from the nodular conjunctival reaction which they produce. Wagenmann (1890) first called it pseudotuberculosis, and it was renamed by Saemisch (1904). Three cases have been described in the British literature (Lawford, 1895; Foster Moore, 1929; Corkey, 1955); we should like to present four additional cases, three from Jerusalem and one from England.
