Ah crap I read this article yesterday and had managed to blissfully forget about the existence of eye worms :(

This is nightmare stuff for me lol

Just wait until this article finally makes it to Hollywood ... I'll be these worms grow to an enormous size too (Eye worm versus Godzilla?).

This is nightmare fuel for pretty much anyone!

Definitely a good general remainder to eat healthy and exercise to keep the immune system strong.

Is there any proof that will prevent this problem?

I doubt it would make any difference for this one and given it was so rare in humans probably zero studies like it give any substantive evidence about it. A healthy immune system is going to help keep cancer and various other parasites at bay though.
