Question about the eye?!


Question: Question about the eye?
Something got in my eye and my eye started burning a little bit. So I started rubbing it. I can't move the eye I rubbed all the way to the side to see. What do I do? I am not going to a doctor for this lol but it's really annoying me. What just happened? I rubbed it last night and it is morning now.

Stop rubbing, you are irritating the eye and making matters worse.
Put some lightly salted luke warm water in an egg cup and rinse your eye with it [eye bath] do this a few times and no more rubbing! Look in mirror and ensure there is not an eyelash or such like rubbing against the eye- ball.



If you had something stuck in your eye and you rubbed it you could have scratched your eye. Now the big quesion is do you still have something in your eye? Get someone to check it for you raising both lids and looking under them and into the corner of an eye in good light. If you have to do this for yourself use a magnifying mirror if possible. If you still have something in it then get it out using eyedrops to swil the eye and manipulating the eyelids to push it to the side. The likelihood is though that you have scratched the eye. If that is the case then give it 24 hours and see if it heals, if its getting worse you need to go the doctor as it may be infected.

I wouldn't try and home made solutions with water as if you have scratched your eye then you may make the situation worse as they aren't sterile. A scratched eye is really irritating but they do mainly heal in 24 hours . Keep you rmind off it.
