Parasitic worms found in woman s eye as scientists warn of emerging disease

Inspecting her eye more closely, she found and removed a second worm.

The next day she visited an opthalmologist in Monterey, California, who removed a third parasite and sent it to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for identification.

Researchers there analysed the sample and identified it as a species of eye worm called Thelazia gulosa.

Those darn eye worms. Better than ear worms, though, har har! Actually, I think eye worms of various species are relatively common and not that big a deal, but check with your local eye doctor.
