Yes, cats can get worms in their eyes, specifically a type of worm called Thelazia. Symptoms may include redness, irritation, excessive tearing, and visible worms in the eye. Treatment typically involves removing the worms manually by a veterinarian and administering medication to kill any remaining worms. Regular deworming and good hygiene practices can help prevent eye worm infections in cats.
