his is the disgusting moment doctors in India removed a large parasitic worm from a man's eye.

Dr Srikanth Shetty received the 60-year-old patient at a hospital in Kundapur, Karnataka, on October 8.

Footage shows the light-coloured worm nestled in the man's eye.

Dr Shetty carefully removes the parasite and places it in a plastic jar, where its 15cm-length is laid bare.

The worm is believed to be Wuchereria Bancrofti, a type of roundworm, that is spread via mosquito bites.

The doctor decided to operate immediately as the worm put the patient's eyesight at risk.
