10 Eye Infection Symptoms
Symptom #3: Something in the Eye
Mostly, our eyelashes and eyelids will help prevent anything from getting into our eyes, but particles can get through sometimes. Even the tiniest of particles can be quite uncomfortable and even painful. Most will come out fairly quickly, however, but that is not always the case.
One symptom of an eye infection is that the patient can feel as though there is something like a speck of dust in the eye. The reality is usually that there is nothing there; the sensation is just a result of the infection. This can also cause the patient to rub their eyes and this can make matters worse.
