Symptoms Of Eye Infection And How To Prevent It

Currently, it is not clear that the infection of the eye parasite is always clear. However, you may have had the disease if you had these symptoms:
Eyes with discomfort, burning often
Sensitivity to light, or watery eyes
Exfoliates the skin into thin scales around the eyes and eyelashes
The skin around the eye turns red and itchy
In scarred retinal area
Vision is also significantly limited
There may be temporary vision loss
There are 8 types of parasites that can parasitize in the eye
Through the research process, scientists have identified 8 types of parasites to choose the place of parasites in the eyes.
1. Acanthamoebiasis
This is a type of unicellular amoeba, they usually live in a water environment (salt water and fresh water). This species usually does not cause infection but can potentially damage the sight on the host

.
At this time, the amoeba will penetrate directly into the cornea. If unhygienic contact lenses are used, this is a factor that increases the risk of disease.
2 Toxoplasmosis
Toxoplasma gondii is caused by a protozoan parasite, and is commonly found in animal wastes (especially cats)
This type of parasite can enter the host's body mainly through the gastrointestinal tract and from mother to child. People with weakened immune systems, infants are more likely to get the disease.



. If not treated promptly, your eyes may be permanently scarred.
3. Loiasis
These helminths are mostly found in Africa. Flea bites can infect you (already infected).
Once ingested inside the body, the parasite can continue to move to the tissue, and will produce larvae called microfilariae May cause impaired vision, eye pain and extreme sensitivity to light
4. Gnathostomiasis
The disease is caused by a type of helminth that lives in Asia, especially in Southeast Asia and Japan.
When we eat uncooked meat and fish, this is the path that leads Gnathostomiasis into the body. From the digestive system, they move to all parts of your body and include the eyes.



. If this happens, the parasite will cause blindness or partial blindness of the patient's eyes.
5. Onchocerciasis
Known as roundworm, they are found mainly in Africa, Central and South America. When a black fly is infected with roundworm it is an ideal medium Their larvae burrow through the patient's skin, stay there and develop into adult worms. They then continue to produce many larvae and move throughout the host's body. If unfortunately they move to the eyes, the risk of blindness is very high.
6. Toxocariasis
Eggs of this helminth species are found mainly in animal manure. If their eggs are moved to your body, they will hatch and enter the long-term parasite.



. While the eyes are not the preferred place for this parasite, they can seriously damage your vision if you move there.
7 Pubic lice
Pubic lice is one of the most common ectoparasitic diseases in the world. This parasite is known as a very small insect that usually lives in the hair of the genitals. Also many times found pubic lice in hair and eyelashes. Poor sexual intercourse and hygiene are ways to help them spread to other hosts.
8. D. folliculorum
These ticks live in human hair follicles, including on eyelashes, which can cause demodicosis. When patients suffer from this disease will be irritated around the eyes, shed eyelashes, conjunctivitis and vision is rapidly reduced.




Treatment for infections in the eyes
For this disease, the treatment will depend on the species of the parasite that causes the disease. Most will be treated by oral and topical application, the commonly used names in this case are ivermectin, pyrimethamine and diethylcarbamazine.
In some cases, the adult worms need to be removed from the host's eyes to avoid permanent vision loss.
How to prevent infection with eyes parasites
Eat boiled and boiled, maintain personal hygiene: wash your hands often, especially before eating after using the toilet and after coming into contact with soil or waste. This will limit the introduction of parasites into the body. Besides, do not share personal belongings with other people, to avoid spreading foreign parasites from other people.
Correct contact lens hygiene: Regularly washing your hands before using contact lenses is important, as parasites can penetrate directly and stay in the eye through contact lenses. Avoid wearing contact lenses when sleeping and in direct contact with pool water
Talk to your doctor as soon as you see any abnormalities in your eyes and some eye infections, for the most effective advice and treatment.
