Treatment
Some authors advocate conservative treatment, as steroids can taper the inflammation despite the intracorneal retention of the hairs.6 Disappearance of the engulfed hairs by 10 months after a 3-month treatment with steroids has been reported.3 Others, [healio.com]
Beginning with the basic principles of the disease, its diagnosis and management, the following sections discuss the treatment of numerous different infectious, non infectious, masquerade and autoimmune syndromes. [books.google.de]
Prognosis
The prognosis is relatively good even with intraocular penetration of the hair. Despite the grave range of possibilities in the manifestations, the outcome in most of the cases is satisfactory, if diagnosed early and treated appropriately. [ijo.in]
References Prognosis The prognosis is generally excellent. Occasional case reports of death from erucism exist, but death is very rare following stings by most species. [misc.medscape.com]
Etiology
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]

Children who keep tarantulas as pets should be instructed on safe handling to prevent the tarantula from adopting defence mechanisms and shedding their hairs. [nzma.org.nz]
It is essential to recognize and treat this entity at an early stage to prevent the intraocular migration of these caterpillar hairs. REFERENCES 1. Saemisch T. Ophthalmia nodosa. Graefe-Saemisch Handbuch der gesamten Augenheilkunde. 2nd ed. [healio.com]
