The bad habit of blinking your eyes excessively may be the cause of parasitic infection. A mainland woman felt eye discomfort, and a parasite fell out of her eyes when she “pushed” her eyes. After seeking medical treatment, as many as 60 live parasites were pinched out of her eyes one after another. The scene was very horrifying. Ophthalmologists explained that this type of parasite is more common in pets. It is suspected that the owner did not wash his hands after touching cats and dogs, and then scratched his eyes, causing infection.

According to reports from mainland media, a young woman in Kunming suffered from eye discomfort recently, and a parasite came out when she rubbed her eyes. The victim was shocked when he saw this and immediately sought medical treatment. During the examination, the doctor found that both eyeballs and eyelids of the victim were covered with parasites. In the end, more than 60 parasites were removed from both eyes. The situation was very horrifying.
Patients with residual worm eggs may still need follow-up consultation
Guan Jie, an ophthalmologist at Kunming Runcheng Purui Eye Hospital who examined the victim, said that the parasite removed from the victim’s eye was “conjunctival sucking nematode”. In order to ensure that all the parasites are removed, Dr. Guan said that the process needs to be carried out carefully, so the whole process takes about half an hour. It is very rare to have such a large number of parasites in the eyes of a single patient clinically. The doctor also said that the victim may still have parasite eggs in his eyes and will need regular follow-up consultations in the future.
Regarding the reason for the large number of parasites in the eyes, Dr. Guan said that “conjunctival sucking nematodes” usually parasitize pets such as cats and dogs, and are transmitted through fruit fly bites. However, the patient was not bitten by fruit flies, so it was inferred that the patient had direct eye contact after close contact with pets at home.
Kunming Runcheng Purui Eye Hospital calls on the public to pay attention to health, especially pet owners, who should deworm their pets regularly and maintain good hygiene habits after close contact to prevent pet parasites from migrating to the human body.
Veterinarian: Dogs cannot survive in an environment without parasites
Dr. Nori Yang Jingbo-him, a veterinarian at Ren Oi in Sai Kung, Hong Kong, pointed out in an interview with Qingbao that conjunctival sucking nematodes are most common in canids, such as dogs, wolves, etc., and have also been found in cats and rabbits, mainly hiding in the eyes of animals. Conjunctiva, if there are no animals such as dogs in the environment, this bug cannot continue to survive. He said that animal infection by insects is a cycle. First, flies with larvae fly to the conjunctiva of the dog and release the larvae. At this time, the dog is infected, the larvae grow into adult worms, and then regenerate larvae.
Ophthalmologist: Adult worms entering the eye can cause increased intraocular pressure and decreased vision.
Yu Shan, an ophthalmologist in Hong Kong, once said that conjunctival sucking nematodes mainly live in the conjunctival sacs of animals and are relatively rare in human eyes. Infected patients may have no obvious symptoms, or may experience foreign body sensation in the eyes, itching, tearing, photophobia, increased secretions, etc. In severe cases, conjunctival congestion may occur, forming small ulcers, corneal opacity, eyelid ectropion, etc. She continued that adult worms can also enter the eye, causing vision loss, increased intraocular pressure, and even damage to the vitreous body and eye wall.
