Eye Worm

Doctors in China recently extracted more than 60 live worms from a patient's eyes during a ghastly operation.

In a stomach-churning incident, a doctor in China removed 20 live worms from a man's eye.

The woman had just rounded a corner while running along a steep trail in coastal California in February 2018 when she charged face-first into an unpleasant surprise: a swarm of flies. The pesky bugs quickly engulfed her, forcing her to swat them away from her face and even spit some out of her mouth. But little did she know, things were about to ge...

An Australian fisherman recently captured a rare fish with no eyes and sharp teeth - and pictures of the "weird-looking" sea creature have since gone viral on social media.

The painting was not an image of anything in particular, just an abstract confluence of psychedelic colors and wormlike patterns inside a perfectly round circle. Ben Taylor didn't like it much, and he said he didn't know why he painted it. But the wormlike patterns represent years of spiraling into unknown illness that had driven the 47-year-old pa...

Abby Beckley thought her left eye was irritated because of a stray eyelash. She rubbed her eye, flushed it with water, but when the discomfort remained, she peered into the mirror. She thought she saw a piece of clear fuzz. She pinched it with her fingers and pulled it out.

An Oregon woman has become the first person worldwide known to have had an eye infestation by a tiny worm species previously seen only in cattle that is spread by flies that feed on eyeball lubrication, US government researchers said on Monday.

But imagine for once what you perceived to be an eyelash lingering inside your eye actually turned out to be a wriggling worm. Well, this turned out to be the worst nightmare for a teenager in Mexico.

A 70mm long filarial worm causing elephantiasis was removed from a woman's eye in a hospital situated in Kerala.
