What Are the Symptoms of Eye Parasites?

Eye parasites are most common in cleft worm and cysticercosis. The way people are infected is mainly due to the parasite parasites in the human eye, which severely damage the eye tissues and damage the function of the sight. The main method is to remove the worm body directly through surgery. The best way to prevent ocular parasitic diseases is to pay attention to life and diet hygiene to prevent the eyes from being infected by the parasite.

Eye swine cysticercosis

If people eat unclean lettuce, rice, pork, and drink water contaminated with cysticercus, cysticercosis can occur in the eye. The disease can occur in various parts of the orbit and the eyeball except the lens. The vitreous and retina are the most common. The common manifestation of this disease is the acute inflammatory reaction of the eye. Patients are conscious of light, tears, eye pain, unclear vision, and severely affect vision. The key to getting the disease is to establish the cysticercosis site and remove it early.

Conjunctival sucking nematodes

Adults of conjunctival nematodes are produced in the conjunctival sacs and lacrimal ducts of dogs and cats. The larvae are sucked into the intestine by the flies along with the tears. When the flies suck the human eyes, the larvae enter the human eyes. After 15 to 20 days, the larvae grow into adult . With conjunctival sucking nematodes in the eyes, a foreign body sensation may occur locally, with conjunctival congestion, pain, tearing, and itching. Because the sharp keratin of the insect body constantly rubs with the eyeball, the cornea can become cloudy, and even corneal scars can occur. After conjunctival nematodes are found in the eye, 0.5% of caine can be dripped. After being stimulated, the conjunctival nematodes crawl out of the corner of the eye, and then the conjunctival sac is thoroughly washed with normal saline.

Conjunctival fly

The disease is caused by larvae of the sheep flies. The patient consciously felt pain, swelling, foreign body sensation, tears, and inability to open his eyes after hitting his eyes. Examination revealed edema of the eyelids and small diaphragmatic peristalsis in the cornea and conjunctival sac. Treatment can use 0.5 to 1% of eye drops of caine, remove the larvae, and then drop anti-inflammatory eye drops to prevent infection. After the larvae are taken out, the acute symptoms can disappear.
