Eye parasites

Did you know that parasites can manifest in your eye? They can cause symptoms like eye floaters, dry eye, red eye, blurred vision, depth perception issue, light sensitivity, eye twitching, double or blurry vision, eye pain, crusting around eyelids & lashes, excessive tear production, retinal scarring, itchiness, dark circles under eyes and headaches.


Your eyes can be host to both microscopic and parasitic worms. Some of the more common eye parasites include:


  • The roundworm Toxocara, which causes blindness, primarily in children.

  • Loa Loa, known as the African eye worm, as it localizes to the conjunctiva of the eye that people can feel moving around.

  • Onchocerca volvulus is a parasitic worm that causes “river blindness,” the world’s second leading infectious cause of blindness.

  • Toxoplasma gondii is a common protozoan parasite that manifests the eyes.


A lot of these are transmitted through recreational water and bug bites so this is something to keep in mind now that it’s getting warmer and we’re spending more time outdoors.
