It Feels Like Something is in My Eye. Can you help?

Yes. Foreign body removal is the medical process of extracting an object that has become lodged in the eye. This can include dust, dirt, metal shards, glass, or even chemicals that enter the eye accidentally. If not treated promptly, these foreign objects can lead to further irritation, scratches, or even more severe injuries to the eye.

Symptoms of a Foreign Body in your Eye

• A feeling of something "in" the eye or a constant urge to rub it
• Redness or irritation in the eye
• Watery eyes or excessive tearing
• Blurred vision or difficulty seeing clearly
• Sensitivity to light (photophobia)
