Ascaris and others can too!

There are actually several different type of parasites that can invade the eyes

Ascaris, other roundworms, Acanthamoeba, a dog parasite, and some pathogens. If you go through some of my posts, there are some articles and a video with a parasite in the eye, and a procedure done in Canada with a roundworm removal.


I told an opthal that I was certain that I have Ascaris in my eyes. I was scoffed and told that it was impossible. 2 days later, someone posted this article which is interesting.

Doctors at a clinic in Kragujevac, central Serbia, have removed an 11 centimetre-long intestinal worm from a woman's eye socket.

According to preliminary results, the worm taken from the 37-year-old patient's eye belongs to the Ascaris family, a common intestinal parasite in pigs that is also found in humans.

No similar case has ever been recorded in Serbia and probably in Europe, Radomir Stojicevic, a doctor at the Kragujevac clinic, told the Tanjug news agency.

The parasite had probably travelled through the patient's blood from the digestive tract into the eye socket, doctors at the clinic believe.
