👁️ Ever wonder why your eyes feel off—like floaters, twitching, or light sensitivity that won’t go away?Y
ou might be surprised to learn… parasites can infect your eyes.
Yes, really—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
• Headaches + dark circles
• Even retinal scarring or blindness
Some of the more common culprits include:
🪱 Toxocara – a roundworm that causes blindness in kids
🪱 Loa Loa – the African eye worm (yes, people can feel it moving)🪱 Onchocerca volvulus – behind “river blindness”
🪱 Toxoplasma gondii – a protozoa linked to eye + brain issues
These are often spread through bug bites and recreational water, so with warmer weather here, now is the time to support your body wisely.
