Foreign body sensation/gritty feeling in the eye

Many people have probably experienced a gritty feeling in their eyes or an uncomfortable sensation when blinking.

The causes vary and include foreign objects such as dirt and sand getting into the eyes, dry eyes, improper use of contact lenses, and eye diseases.
If you experience a feeling of a foreign object or discomfort in your throat for several days and are worried, consult a specialist to determine the cause.

Before you start rubbing your eyes vigorously, learn the correct information about allergic conjunctivitis and take appropriate care of them.
