Common Eye Symptoms That Could Signal a Parasitic Infection

Parasites… in your eyes?!

👁️Ever wonder why your eyes feel off... like floaters, twitching, or light sensitivity that won’t go away?  You might be surprised to learn… parasites can infect your eyes!

Your eyes can host both microscopic parasites and actual worms that can cause:

• Eye floaters

• Redness, dryness, or excessive tearing

• Light sensitivity & blurred or double vision

• Twitching, itchiness, or pain

• Crusting around lashes

• Red squiddly lines in the whites of your eyes

• Headaches + dark circles

• Even retinal scarring or blindness

Some of the biggest culprits:

Toxocara – a roundworm that can lead to blindness (especially in children).

Loa Loa (African eye worm) – known to crawl across the surface of the eye.

Onchocerca volvulus – causes “river blindness,” the world’s 2nd leading cause of infectious blindness.

Toxoplasma gondii – infects over 40 million Americans every year, damaging the retina, triggering floaters, and even linked to mood disorders like anxiety and OCD.

Lyme disease & co-infections (Babesia & Bartonella) – can trigger red or dry eyes, depth perception issues, light sensitivity, double vision, and even eye twitching.

This isn’t just a “third world problem.” The CDC estimates tens of millions of U.S. infections each year.
