Eye Invasion
Symptoms of eye invasion include visual impairment, pain, keratitis, and retinal edema. Worms usually appear in the anterior chamber and vitreous and can sometimes be removed surgically.
The parasite is rarely seen outside of endemic areas, and in these cases patients generally have a history of travel to an endemic area.
