A parasite is a tiny organism that lives in or on another animal or part of its body. The animal is called the host, and the parasite benefits from being attached to it. These parasites never want to help the host. Instead, they end up hurting the host’s body in many ways and may even kill the host.
Parasites can get into the body in many different ways and spread to other parts, like the eyes. If a person has parasites in their eyes, you may be able to tell by looking for certain signs. So, in this article, which is based on an article on Healthline, we’ll look at some of the signs that parasites are attacking the eyes that shouldn’t be ignored.
What do eye parasites look like?
1. Eye pain that isn’t caused by a known problem with the eyes. Eye pain that comes on quickly and out of the blue should not be ignored because it could be caused by a parasite in the eye.
2. Eyes that are red or swollen for no good reason. Eyes that are red and swollen are a serious sign of an eye parasite that should not be ignored.
3. Too many tears could be a sign that a parasite is living in the eyes.
4. Vision that is blurry and sometimes has “floaters” in the line of sight. Depending on how deeply the parasite has eaten into your eyes, your vision may become blurry. For your own safety, you should not ignore sudden blurry vision or floaters in your eyes.
