Doctor pulls 13cm live worm from man's eye in India
A 13-centimetre long worm that was surgically removed from a patient's eye in Mumbai is seen on June 29. A doctor in India pulled the live worm from the eye of an elderly patient who was complaining of persistent pain in an operation reminiscent of a far-fetched alien movie plot.
The specialist removed the 13-centimetre (five-inch) worm by making a small opening in the conjunctiva -- a 15-minute operation that was observed by the patient's horrified wife, Saraswati.
"It just kept moving and jumping; it was scary for a bit," she told the Mumbai Mirror.
