Something In My Eye / myLot

Louisville, Kentucky

July 3, 2020 5:40am CST

Have you ever had something in your eye and it drives you crazy because no matter what you do, you can't get it out? That's where I am at this morning. I woke up this way. It's probably either fuzz or Daisys hair. When I look, I can't find it. I've used eye drops and it just seems to dry my eye out. For some reason, it seems like whenever this happens, it's always the same eye. I'm leaving it alone for now. I'm hoping the burning will cause my natural tears to flush it out. So, I hope everyone has a great Friday. Any plans for the weekend?

So sorry. Yes, that's happened to me, and usually I get it out before I cause irritation to my eye. I would flush it with an eye cup if you have one, otherwise wait for your natural tears to do the job. That is so annoying!

It's awful having something in your eye. I hope it works its way out soon.

Take a water filled bowl..and immerse your eye in it while trying to open it with your fingers. It really helps to take out anything no matter how minute it is.

Never experienced it so far. I have a great Friday today. If it will not rain later then, I will be walking around our place and enjoy the sunny and windy weather

That is a terrible irritant, having something in your eye. Sometimes you get it out and don't even know you have, because the thing left a scratch and you can still feel that. I do hope your eye feels normal soon. Ugh. The only plans are my son has today off for the holiday weekend and we're going walking this morning. Tomorrow he and his wife are having a barbecue, just the three of us, maybe her parents too, will have hamburgers and hot dogs, but it will be distanced of course.

It surely is annoying when it happens, I wash with an eye product when it happens.

I know that feeling, because I have gritty and dry eys. I have to put drops in every few hours. Hope your eye feels better.

That sounds annoying. Have you tried using an eye dropper with some water in it to flush it out? That might get the eye cleared out.

Did you try washing your eyes with water?

Pull your lower lid down carefully. Then try to get out whatever you have in your eye by rubbing gently from the corner of your eye towards the nose. Never in the opposite direction. This is the way tears flow. If you're lucky, the thingy will flow out.
