Doctor Plucks Wriggling Worms From Dog Owners Eye

This is the moment a doctor plucks one of three wriggling parasitic worms from a dog owner’s eye which were retrieved along with a host of eggs after his pooch infected him.

Mr Yan, 54, from the city of Ningbo in East China’s Zhejiang Province, complained of chronic symptoms including conjunctivitis, tear over-secretion and sharp pain in his left eye.

He was examined by ophthalmologist Zhou Guping at Zhejiang University Mingzhou Hospital, and was found to be hosting three parasitic roundworms of the species Thelazia callipaeda in his left eye.
