Irritation
Eye ulcers may feel like a foreign substance in the eye. Some people describe feeling like a piece of sand or dirt is stuck under their eyelids. It's important to see an eye doctor to make sure a foreign particle that may cause damage isn't present, but the ulcer itself may cause that feeling as well.5Christopher Kent, Senior Editor. ‘Winning the Battle Against Corneal Ulcers.’ Review of Ophthalmology, 5 Sept. 2013, www.reviewofophthalmology.com/article/winning-the-battle-against-corneal-ulcers-42796
Feeling like something is stuck in the eye may prompt scratching and rubbing, but it's important to resist these urges so as to let the eye heal.5Christopher Kent, Senior Editor. ‘Winning the Battle Against Corneal Ulcers.’ Review of Ophthalmology, 5 Sept. 2013, www.reviewofophthalmology.com/article/winning-the-battle-against-corneal-ulcers-42796
