Corneal Abrasions

Cornea acts as a shield in protecting the eyes from external elements like dust, dirt particles etc. Sometimes, dirt particles can get stuck in the eyelids which can cause corneal scratches. These scratches/ abrasions can result in discomfort and pain in the eyes. The first thing one should do when facing this situation, is to wash it off with cold water rather.Don't rub the eyes. If the discomfort persists, visit an eye specialist without any delay.
