After a patient gets a worm in his eye, first of all, do not rub the eye with your hand and go to the hospital in time to remove the foreign body. If the bug enters the conjunctival sac, it can be taken out with a clean sterile cotton swab. If the bug is attached to the corneal surface, use microscopic tweezers to remove the bug.
1. Conjunctival foreign body: patients can use the index finger to lift the upper and lower eyelids, turn the eyelids to expose the lid conjunctival surface, use a clean sterile cotton swab with saline or antibiotic drops to gently flick out the bugs, which can relieve the discomfort.
2. Corneal foreign body: If the bugs are attached to the corneal surface, you need to go to the hospital under the guidance of a doctor to remove the corneal foreign body by using microscopic forceps under the slit lamp or microscope. If accompanied by corneal damage, you can follow the doctor’s instructions to use recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor eye drops and other drugs to promote the repair of corneal damage.
It is recommended that patients who have worms in their eyes should not blindly remove them on their own, but should seek medical attention in a timely manner to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
