Hi
Welcome to HCM
It would have been better if you could tell the name of the parasite, which had infected your friend.
Parasite infection in perineal region are mostly caused by Trichomonas, which is very unusual to cause eye infection.
Besides parasites your complains can be due to candida, a fungus or else it may be an entity called bacterial vaginosis.
If you could tell some more clinical informations, it would have been easier for me to guide you further.
All the best
