What happens to the little hairs and other things that you DONT get out of your eye

Question

When something is in your eye, most times you can manage to get it out, but what about the stuff you cant get out? You know, when you rub and rub and eventually the irritation goes away, but you never actually got the hair or whatever it was, out of your eye? where does it go? does it collect somewhere in the back of the eye? Doesnt it build up eventually?

Answer 1

You know when you wake up in the morning and there is some sticky or crusty stuff in the corner of your eye?

That is all the dirt that has gone into your eyes over the day.

Your eyes have a self-cleaning method where all the dirt collects at the corner as you sleep.

Your body breaks down all the dirt and hairs this way, making it easier to come out.

Answer 2

it's had to come out sometime or the irritation wouldn't stop, your eyes water a lot when there is something in them this is their way of cleaning out things that gets in them.
