For the first time, Ebola has been discovered inside the eyes of a patient just months after the virus was gone from his blood.

Dr. Ian Crozier, 43, was flown last September to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta for treatment after contracting Ebola while working in Sierra Leone. After a serious battle, he was eventually deemed cured and released.

But a burning sensation in his left eye, a sensitivity to light and the feeling that something was stuck in his eye continued to bother him. Later he suffered blurred vision, pain and inflammation, and the colour of his eye turned from grey to green. When doctors tested the aqueous humour, the watery substance inside the eye, it tested positive for Ebola.
