A 1.5-year-old female, hunting dog and a 6-year-old male crossbred dog presenting with eye discharge, conjunctival hyperemia and swelling were reported in this study.After a local anesthetic drug was administered, oph-thalmological examination revealed a variable degree of ocular discharge, blepharospasm, conjunctival hyperemia, and the presence of movable parasites hidden behind the third eyelid membrane. A total of 15 parasites (5 males, 10 fe-males) were removed from the eyes of both cases. All the parasites were submitted to the department of parasitology for morphological identification. According to ocular and parasitological examination findings, thepatients were diag-nosed with ocular thelaziasis. For treatment, a single time 10% imidacloprid and 2.5% moxidectin spot on (Advocate®, Bayer, Slovakia) was applied and tobramycine-dexamethasone (Tobradex®, Alcon, Turkey) 3 times a day, fusidic acid (Fucithalmic®, Abdi Ibrahim, Turkey) twice a day were usedtopically for 2 weeks. Mechanical removal of parasites and medical treatment were positive in both patients.
