In a rare medical case, parasitic worms grew underneath a woman's upper eyelid.
The woman, who was 41 and lived in Beijing, went to the hospital in June 2022 after feeling like she had something in her right eye. Upon examining the eye, doctors noticed that its outer surface, the cornea, appeared damaged. They prescribed the patient eye drops to help protect the eye from further irritation and reduce the risk of infection, before sending her on her way.
