What Causes Irritation In The Eyes?

Hi, I have had an on and off going issue with my eyes. It feels like there is something in the eye. The symptoms are that of pink eye, however I noticed on the inside of my eye there is whit filmy substance that seems to be irritating the eye. When I go to pull it out, it takes some work and seems to be the cause of the issue. I will pull out the substance and the irritated feeling will go away. I have visited several optometrists and they are unable to diagnose the issue.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

For this problem, you have to consult an eye doctor to be examined in slit lamp. Examination by the optometrist will not be advisable.
