Suggest Remedy For Irritation On The Side Of The Eye
Question: for around 2 days not in the right corner of my eye i feel like there is something in there like an eye lash or something like that but when i took a detailed look in the mirror nothing appeared to be there. Every time i blink i feel as if there is something in my eye but nothing is there, also when my eyes are closed it feels as if there is something in there as well. This is a very annoying feeling and wont seem to go away. It is only on the right side of my right eye any suggestions of what i should do would be greatly appreciated
Brief Answer:
Keep a good eye hygiene as following....
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.
From what you are describing, it seems that something (foreign body) might have entered inside your eye. If I was your caring doctor would advise to:
- wash your eye with a mixture of no-tear baby shampoo (one part) with 5 parts warm water. You can use ear buds to clean it.
- rinse well with cold water
- at the end rinse with chamomile tea (can use a cotton bud too)
If in a couple of days, you'll have the same symptoms or they will get worse, should consult with ophthalmologist for further evaluations.
Hope it was of help!
