Leech on the eye: a novel use for hypertonic saline.

Christopher Partyka1, Toby Fogg.   

Abstract

Although human interaction with leeches is common in Australia, there is little documented literature on ocular injuries as a result of contact with a leech. We report a case of ocular leech attachment and a previously undocumented method of removal with hypertonic saline solution.
