HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It may be allergies or dry eye.
Both of these can cause the feeling as though an object is in the eye.
An optometrist or opthalmologist can evaluate the eye to see if either or both of these are present.
Dry eyes is treated with a lubricant and allergy drops are used for allergies.
I hope this helps
