I have something like dirt or some particle in my right eye from the last 4 - 5 days. I feel it in my eyes. In the beginning, I washed my eyes several times but the foreign material is not coming out. I haven't gone or exposed my eyes to any dusty environment. I do use contact lenses for at least 10 hours a day as my right eye has prescribed number/power of -3.25 sph, -0.5 cyl, 20 axis, and 6/6va. And whenever such a thing happens I wash my eyes and try to remove dirt by my fingers by gently moving them below my eyelids. But, this time by any means the dirt isn't coming out. Once I also put some honey in my eyes (a very little amount) for lubrication and smoothing my eyes, my eyes got smoothened but the dirt particle was still inside. Please suggest some remedy or some fluid or drop which can make all the dirt come out. In the mornings from the last 4-5 days, the same particle comes near my eyelids but, as soon as I try to remove it, it goes away and away. And due to lot of tries to remove dirt, my eye eventually dries out. Due to this, I am also facing an issue to use my contact lenses. It feels like a dirt particle because some times when the dirt particle comes near eyelids it feels very rough and scratchy. Please help suggest something. Right now it's very risky to go to hospitals as they may be contaminated and the corona virus can spread through eyes. So a home solution is best. Regards vijayan whatsapp: mobile.

If a person can feel something in their eye, it is typically an eyelash, some dust, or a grain of sand. However, ?foreign body sensation? can cause eye discomfort without there actually being anything in the eye. Dry eyes and inflammation of the eyelids can make it feel as though something is in the eye. Let's have a detailed discussion for better advice and healthy lifestyle.
