Eye Parasites

Eye parasites are organisms, typically microscopic, which live either on the surface of or within the eye tissue of humans. They can be caused by a number of factors, including poor hygiene, contact lens use, contaminated eye drops, and other factors. Symptoms of eye parasites may include inflammation, redness, itching, pain, and cloudiness of vision. If left untreated, eye parasites can cause blindness or even loss of the eye. Treatment options include topical and oral medications and, in some cases, surgery. Understanding the causes and symptoms of eye parasites can help reduce the risk of their transmission, as well as the severity of their effects.
