Patient's question:
Since yesterday, I've been feeling like there's something in my eyes, which is uncomfortable. At first, I thought it might be eyelashes getting in there, but I couldn't find anything. It's still the same today, and it feels even worse when I spend more time in front of the computer. What should I do? I haven't been treated for it. I want to quickly return to my previous state without any uncomfortable symptoms.Doctor's answer:
EyeMany eye diseases can cause foreign body sensation, usually occurring in the conjunctiva or just over the cornea. If foreign body sensation frequently appears, it indicates an abnormality in the eyes, and it is recommended to seek help from an ophthalmologist as soon as possible. In necessary cases, tests such as lens prescription, tear film tests, and blood sugar tests may be required. If these tests show no issues, various eye drops for soothing the eyes can be used. Additionally, prolonged computer use can lead to visual fatigue.
