A Japanese man's eyeball was paralyzed after catching an infection from a dog bite.
The unnamed patient, 19, sought medical help after a German shepherd bit the left side of his face and caused a gash in his forehead.
He was initially given stitches and sent home - however, three days later, he returned to his eye doctor complaining of double vision.
His left eyelid was swollen and could not move, and the blood vessels just underneath his eye had burst, causing a hemorrhage.
The patient could not freely move his eye after the dog bite unless he looked in a specific direction
