Feel like I have something in my eye, but I don't.

[smurfgirl]

My eye feels like it has an eyelash in it and has done all day, I had one that looked like it was growing downwards but pulled it out (less painful than it sounds!) but its still very uncomfy.

Any ideas?

you have scratched/irritated it with teh eyelash. will be fine tomorrow or else you must go to doc.

Cheers.

Yep, sounds like you've scratched the cornea. Go to bed to give it a rest!

Stop peering at your computer screen!!

I had this for a while and the optician gave me some eye drops to sort it out.

I had this last night and it was driving me mad. Woke up this morning and couldn't open my eyes because of bloody conjunctivitis!

I expect you will have this tomorrow too!

Forever optimistic (lol at the name) you took the words right out of my mouth!

A foreign body sensation with no foreign body could be conjunctivitis. If you still have it tomorrow visit an optometrist.

I appear to have a teeny spot on the side of my upper eyelid which is causing it and a stye on my lower lid most annoying.

I get the foreign body/gravel sensation with hayfever. It is solved by taking an antihistamine.

I actually have it today, so it's not necessarily a springtime thing.
