‘Mum! There’s stuff moving on your eyelid’: Doctors find lice living in woman’s eye

A woman thought she was just itchy when her eye started giving her grief. After closer inspection, she was shocked to hear she had more than 20 lice living inside her eye. Ms Zhang, from Shandong in China, was recovering from a stroke in hospital when she felt her left eye become irritated, People’s Daily Online reports. Thinking it was simply a result of her recovery, she did not become alarmed, believing it was probably an infection. Ms Zhang started experiencing a seeping discharge in her left eye and after the itching became unbearable, she asked her son to inspect. Twenty 'little worms’ were found by eye specialist Dr Bao Guisheng. Nurses removed the lice individually using a pair of small tweezers.

I thought they were some sort of a parasitic bug, like mites or something, but when we looked through a microscope, we saw that they were lice.

Dr Bao Guisheng said.
