Your eyes are sensitive and any flying foreign object
has the potential to harm it. A foreign object can be dust particles or grit or
very small substances that can come in contact with your eyes like cosmetics,
metal particles, etc. Even though eyelashes play a very crucial role here to
get these particles out but when these sticks to your eyelashes, they can further affect the cornea or the
conjunctiva. Most often, it results in corneal abrasion (a scratch on the cornea). Also, it can make your eye
itchy or bloodshot. So, the best way to prevent this is to wear appropriate
glasses while riding a bike, at construction sites or while playing outdoors.
And, if it’s already there, then rubbing your eyes is a strict NO! Wash your
eyes thoroughly with cold water, but if it doesn’t come out or embedded itself
in the lower surface of the eye, then go see a doctor immediately.
