Why does it fell like I have an eyelash in my eye, but there's nothing there???

Question

I didn't scratch it or anything. It just feels like there's something scratchy under the outside corner of my eyelid. I looked, I don't see anything. If I pull my eyelid up, I can't feel it, but I cant go around all day like that!!! It's driving me crazy. I've had the feeling for 3 days!!!

Answer 1

you could have somthing like an eyelash or anything that is small under the the pink thing layer that you can see lineing your eyes and it really does feel like a huge thing. i normally flush my eyes with water. and it helps ... but if it keeps on bothering you go see a qualifeid person

Answer 2

You may have a tiny small hair from your eyelash poking your eyeball.  You'd only be able to see something like that with a magnifying glass.  Then sometimes I never do see anything, I just start tweezing out a few eyelashes closest to the eyeball until that feeling stops.  Also, it's allergy season and your eyes may be all dried out. Keep them lubricated during this season.  Drops (natural tears) in the morning and at night, especially after you've been outdoors.

Hey, me too! I like April's answer.

Answer 4

With the initial irritation, you could have a tiny scratch on your eyeball or edge of lid. I've had that feeling before only to have a tiny sty right on the inside edge of my eyelid. Another time, I pulled my lid way up and I had a long hair wrapped up there. I slowly pulled it out and it was gross!
