My kitten has white worm-like things in his pupil. Is it normal?

Question

I rescued two kittens (about 2 months old at the time) from the street, took them to a vet, they were riddled with worms. They had treatment and continue to have worming tablets and such but just recently when taking a photo, I noticed one of them has worm like white things in his pupil, noticeable only when I shine a light in his eyes. Is that normal or should I have him looked at? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered

It is not normal to see worms in the eye, although occasionally worms can migrate through tissues they wouldn’t normally be in. I would definitely recommend an exam with your vet. It’s possible that these aren’t worms, but safest to have your vet take a look.
