Something is constantly interfering in the eye. The eye hurts under the upper eyelid, as if something is interfering. Injuries and the postoperative period

Sometimes there is an unpleasant feeling that something has got into the eye. There are pronounced symptoms in the form of redness, there is no tearing, but the person experiences discomfort when blinking. False sensation foreign body in the eye is associated with physiological or pathological causes.

The main causes of the symptom

In order to look for the true cause of discomfort, irritation, it is necessary to exclude a foreign object in the conjunctival sac. Third-party particles are so small that a person on his own, without the help of an ophthalmologist, cannot detect them in the eye.

If the discomfort does not go away after rinsing the eye with running water by the leakage of tear fluid, you should contact a narrow-profile specialist.

TO physiological reasons relate:

  • ingrown cilia, the germination of which is difficult;
  • drying out of the mucous membrane as a result of the adverse effects of natural or environmental factors;
  • neglect of the rules for wearing contact lenses;
  • in women - the use of low-quality decorative cosmetics.

Pathology of the organ of vision

Many infectious and inflammatory eye diseases are accompanied by a foreign body sensation. This is conjunctivitis different etiology, blepharitis - rosacea, scaly, ulcerative, angular, meibomian.

Injuries and the postoperative period

Sensations of a foreign body in the eyes occur during thermal and chemical burns. With such injuries, the integrity of the cornea is violated, the surface of a thin transparent shell loses its smoothness, becomes uneven. A person has a feeling that something seems to be in the way in the eye.

What substances cause the symptom:

  • hot steam;
  • strong flow of cold air, wind;
  • volatile alkalis, acids;
  • welding materials;
  • chemical reagents.

Similar sensations occur when the retina is exposed to bright sunlight.

Mechanical injuries to the organ of vision cause not only discomfort, but also painful sensations.

V postoperative period after the use of laser microsurgery according to the LASIK or PRK technique, in most patients the first days there is a feeling of a foreign body. Also, the symptom is observed in patients with cataracts after replacing the lens. People experience discomfort after installing a phakic lens. The condition persists for 2-3 days after implantation.

Systemic ailments

The symptom is observed in people with mental disorders and deviations. Often this is a fictitious symptom, patients constantly rub their eyes, provoking the development of a nonspecific inflammatory process.

The appearance of a foreign body sensation in the eye in systemic diseases is caused by immune mechanisms. The most common symptom is diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease.

The symptom occurs in patients with hypertension... Persistent blood pressure promotes the appearance of flies before the eyes, the feeling that something has got into the eye.

Associated symptoms

The sensation of a foreign body is accompanied by additional symptoms. Due to constant discomfort, a burning sensation, a person constantly rubs his eyelids, his eye hurts. As a result, the mucous membrane becomes inflamed, hyperemia appears. Sometimes the vascular layer becomes inflamed in parallel.

Common signs and manifestations with a feeling of a false foreign body:

  • increased lacrimation;
  • irritation;
  • painful sensations;
  • photosensitivity (photophobia);
  • heaviness of the eyelids, discomfort when blinking, moving the eyeballs.

This condition negatively affects general state... A person cannot concentrate on work, study, is constantly distracted, memory, receptivity and assimilation of new information are reduced. If the discomfort persists when the eyes are closed, the quality of the night's sleep is compromised.

Diagnostics

Primary diagnosis is ophthalmoscopy. The doctor, using an ophthalmoscope, fundus lenses, examines the fundus, blood vessels, and evaluates various structures of the eye. If no apparent causes are identified (neoplasm, inflammatory process, violation of the integrity of tissues), conduct a more detailed examination of the patient on ophthalmic equipment.

A slit lamp is used for diagnosis. They study the surface of the eyeball, internal structures - the retina, lens, iris, optic nerve.

To identify microparticles, fluorescent staining of the mucous membrane is used and viewed in the light of a UV lamp.

For a more detailed diagnosis, the patient is sent for ultrasound, MRI.

If ophthalmological studies have not revealed the cause of the pathological condition, the person is carried out complex diagnostics the body for the detection of internal chronic diseases.

Treating foreign body sensation in the eye

To eliminate the symptom, therapeutic treatment is prescribed, depending on the reasons that provoked it.

Folk remedies

Funds traditional medicine used to relieve associated symptoms (redness, irritation, burning). They make compresses, lotions, applications on the eyes:

  • Recipe number 1. Prepare a decoction of chamomile flowers, cool, strain. Freeze in the form of ice cubes. Wrap a couple of cubes in a cloth and apply to closed eyelids for 2-3 minutes. The procedure should be done 4-5 times a day.
  • Recipe number 2. Prepare peppermint decoction. Use warm. In the broth, moisten a gauze napkin, squeeze slightly and apply on closed eyes in the form of a compress for 10-15 minutes.
  • Recipe number 3. Rinse and peel the aloe leaves, finely chop the pulp or grate. Add honey, broth of elder flowers. Apply to closed eyelids and skin around the eyes 2 times a day. Keep the mask for 15–20 minutes, then rinse with warm water using a cotton swab.

Traditional treatment

Locally prescribed drugs with anti-inflammatory, decongestant, antibacterial, anesthetic effect. These are solutions for instillation into the conjunctival sac, ointments, gels, suspensions.

For infectious and inflammatory diseases, such eye drops:

  • Tsiprolet;
  • Tobrex;
  • Ophtocypro;
  • Dancil;
  • Floxal;
  • Levomycetin.

Ointments can also be prescribed - tetracycline, erythromycin.

For dry eye syndrome, tear fluid substitutes are prescribed - Artificial tear, Vidisik, Oftagel, Hilo-chest of drawers, Oftolik, Artelak, Vet-chest of drawers.

After eye surgery, to restore the integrity of tissues, accelerated regeneration, scarring, the following drugs are prescribed:

  • Thiotriazoline;
  • Vita-iodurol;
  • Zhetrea concentrate;
  • Ikervis;
  • Quinax;
  • Korneregel;
  • Optive;
  • Okoferon;
  • Sikapos;
  • Retinalamin;
  • Solcoseryl.

Possible complications

If you do not consult an ophthalmologist in a timely manner for diagnosis and treatment, complications associated with the main cause are possible:

  • transition acute infection in a chronic sluggish process that does not respond to treatment;
  • deterioration in the quality of visual function;
  • the risk of spreading the infection to nearby organs, the brain;
  • persistent preservation of dryness of the mucous membrane, leading to atrophy of the membrane;
  • irreversible destructive processes of different structures of the eye.

Prevention of ailment

Preventive measures to prevent the development of a symptom include the following points:

  • compliance with safety measures at enterprises, factories, the use of personal protective equipment when working with chemicals advanced class danger;
  • wearing sunglasses in summer, as well as in winter when skiing on snowy slopes (protection from headwinds, bright sunlight reflected from snow);
  • timely and high-quality treatment of eye infectious diseases;
  • elimination of the syndrome of dryness of the mucous membrane, the use of moisturizing drops;
  • correct organization of working time for people whose activities are associated with overexertion of vision (programmers, assemblers of small parts, truckers).

When working at a computer, you need to take breaks every hour for 10 minutes. At this time, you cannot look at the monitor, even at a distant distance. It is better to sit in front of the window, relax your vision and look into the distance, without focusing your vision on a particular subject.

It is important to take timely, every six months courses of treatment for internal chronic diseases in a hospital setting (hypertension, renal failure).

The sensation of a foreign body in the eyes is a harmless symptom. He accompanies many eye diseases, less often manifests itself in diseases not related to the organ of vision. With adequate medical care, it quickly passes without negative consequences.

The eye is covered with film, the field of view is blurred, you have to blink often, but your condition does not improve? This unpleasant sensation when the eye hurts, as if something had got in, is associated with irritation of conjunctival receptors, which can arise due to various reasons, not always associated with the presence of foreign bodies in the organs of vision.

Causes of the symptom

Feeling of a speck in the eye under the upper eyelid, lacrimation, pain and burning sensation may speak about the following problems:

  1. hyperthyroidism - hyperfunction thyroid gland when she releases too many hormones into the blood;
  2. invisible damage to the stratum corneum, for example, when trying to insert contact lenses;
  3. consequences of nervous tension, reaction to nervous diseases;
  4. weather conditions - exposure to wind, dry air, heat;
  5. dry eye syndrome - often due to prolonged work at the computer;
  6. glaucoma;
  7. dustiness of the air;
  8. chronic fatigue;
  9. getting a speck;
  10. consequences arising from the specifics of the profession - for example, among welders;
  11. reaction to contact lenses;
  12. inflammations of bacterial or allergic origin - blepharitis, conjunctivitis, keratitis, trachoma;
  13. reaction to a tick lesion with demodicosis;
  14. inflammation of the sebaceous ducts on the eyelid - barley or chalazion.

The sensation of a foreign body in the eye does not always indicate that a foreign object has fallen under the eyelid. Often such a symptom indicates the progression of a dangerous ophthalmic disease, which prevents the organ of vision from performing its functions normally. In order for the treatment of such a violation to be effective, it is important to find out what kind of cause provoked it.

The main causes of discomfort

The feeling of the presence of a foreign object under the upper eyelid or lower is due to irritation of the nerve fibers of the cornea. If irritation occurs constantly and there is an obstacle in the eye, increased tearing, soreness, itching, burning begins to bother. Such a reaction is aimed at quickly removing the interference and returning the organ to normal functionality.

However, such symptoms do not always arise from a foreign body. A person tries to find particles of debris under the eyelid, but there is nothing there, and the unpleasant feeling, discomfort and irritation do not go away. If unreasonably worried constant sensation the presence of a foreign object in the right or left eye, and when blinking, pain is also worried, the reasons for this condition may be:

  • Bacterial and infectious diseases. These are conjunctivitis, blephalitis, keratitis, phlegmon and others. The first thing the patient notices after infection is that the eye becomes unnatural, first in the corner, and then red on the entire surface, it constantly itches, and when pressed from the inside, pus is released.
  • Barley or chalazion. It is an inflammatory disease characterized by blockage and inflammation sebaceous gland century. Symptoms bother when you close and open your eyelids, when you press on the abscess, the pain intensifies. Chalazion - hardened barley, the complication is removed only by surgery, at the time of relapse it brings discomfort and a feeling of the presence of a foreign object on the mucous membrane.
  • Glaucoma. This is a dangerous pathology in which intraocular pressure increases. In addition to the fact that the patient's eye hurts, photophobia, headaches are additionally worried, and with an attack before the eyes, everything interferes, the person suddenly becomes ill.

Other reasons


Long hours of work at the PC leads to dry eye syndrome, which causes this feeling.

Such violations can cause an unpleasant feeling of a foreign object in the eyes:

  • Microdamage to the cornea. It is often a factor causing discomfort in the eye. Such a violation occurs if something acute has fallen under the eyelid, and the syndrome is also a consequence of injuries, for example, with inept use of contact lenses.
  • Thermal and chemical burns... Such damage can occur at work through contact with chemicals and hot steam. But injuries at home due to non-compliance with the rules for the use of detergents and hygiene products are not excluded.
  • Dry eye disease. It develops in people who work at a computer for a long time or in climatic conditions where there is insufficient air humidity.

Concomitant symptoms

The feeling of a speck in the eye is often accompanied by the following additional symptoms:


Often this feeling is combined with a headache.
  • increased lacrimation;
  • pain, itching, burning, tingling, as if the mucous membrane is irritated by an eyelash or other sharp object;
  • photophobia;
  • hyperemia;
  • decreased vision clarity, blurred;
  • blepharospasm;
  • discharge of pus;
  • headache.

Possible complications

When the eye is red and sore, and the eyelids itch, the cause may be ophthalmic or other internal illnesses, the progression of which gave such a failure in the body.

If pathological processes are not stopped in a timely manner, the risk of developing such consequences as:


Strabismus can be one of the complications of this condition in humans.
  • complete or partial blindness;
  • thorn;
  • corneal scars;
  • strabismus;
  • resorption of the lens;
  • inflammatory complications leading to irreversible necrotic changes.

Diagnostics

To establish the cause of the discomfort in the eyes, as well as to determine the exact diagnosis, you should visit an ophthalmologist, who will further treat the problem. After the initial examination and collection of anamnesis, the doctor gives a referral to such diagnostic procedures:

  • bacterial sowing of smears;
  • examination of the eyeball;
  • measuring the thickness of the cornea;
  • assessment of the functionality of the sebaceous glands;
  • definition intraocular pressure;
  • Ultrasound, X-ray, CT or MRI of the visual system.

What treatment is prescribed?

Special exercises for the organs of vision will solve the problem of people working at a computer.

If the pain symptom in the organs of vision is the result of long work at the computer, the doctor will advise you to do special therapeutic exercises, humidify the air in the room to 40-60%. At infectious inflammation special eye drops, ointments and gels are prescribed, which help to quickly get rid of the problem. The groups of drugs used are as follows:

  • antibiotics;
  • glucocorticosteroids;
  • non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs;
  • tear substitutes;
  • pain relievers;
  • antihistamines;
  • immunostimulating.

If conservative methods do not bring the desired result, the doctor decides to conduct surgical treatment... Operation is indispensable if cataract, glaucoma, degeneration are diagnosed vitreous, necrotic processes. During therapy, the doctor removes the defects, and then sutures. After the operation, a rehabilitation period will follow, during which it is worth following all the recommendations and advice of the doctor, using the prescribed medications.

People with good eyesight often do not think about how wealthy they have and begin to appreciate the ability to see well only when they are faced with the fact that something seems to be in the way of the eye. It may be just a speck, but it may turn out to be the first sign of a serious eye disease. Therefore, it is very important to seek help from an ophthalmologist in time.

Causes of discomfort in the eye

The foreign body sensation in the eye is familiar to most people. Its reasons can be objective and subjective.

Foreign body ingress

This often happens in people of blue-collar occupations.... Dust, shavings, pieces of stone, various microparticles, very small flies and pollen can get under the eyelid.

It is worth noting that only large objects that fall under the upper or lower eyelid cause sharp pain. It is accompanied by profuse lachrymation.

Excessive lacrimation is a protective reaction of the body, which wants to get rid of a foreign particle. Tears in most cases wash the foreign body out of the eye and it stops hurting.

Lachrymation is ineffective when a foreign object has damaged the outer shell of the eye and is stuck in it. In such cases, the patient says that it is like pricking in his eye with a needle. Without the help of an ophthalmologist, this problem cannot be dealt with. Moreover, if the visit is delayed, then after a while the patient will begin to see poorly.

Small particles and dust do not cause severe pain, but provoke pain and lacrimation. Patients say that the eyes just itch and they want to blink often.

Reflex blink though and is defensive reaction , but more often exacerbates the harm caused to the organs of vision by foreign objects. The fact is that the frequent movement of the eyelid makes the speck move along the surface of the eyeball. Such movements cause microtrauma to the cornea, therefore, even after removing small particles from the eyes, discomfort can persist for a long time.

By the way, contact lenses are also foreign objects for human organs of vision. No wonder doctors forbid wearing them for a long time. Even soft lenses, when worn for a long time, can cause discomfort in the eyes.

Corneal burns

It is about damage to the cornea, infringing the integrity of its surface. The injured person says that something seems to be interfering in the eye. Moreover, it is not possible to get rid of the foreign body.

Corneal burns can be chemical, thermal or light. Such damage can be obtained in the following cases:

Such injuries are very dangerous, as they can provoke the appearance of scars on the cornea, which will significantly reduce visual acuity. Therefore, it is forbidden to treat burns on your own.

Infectious diseases

Inflammatory processes provoked by bacterial agents often capture not only the structural elements of the eye, but also neighboring structures: eyelids, glands, muscles and adipose tissue.

Inflammation is always accompanied by local swelling., the appearance of pus and tissue damage. All this creates in a person a sense of the presence of a foreign body under the eyelid.

The infection can affect the right and left eyeballs at the same time.

The following infectious diseases can cause discomfort:

Discomfort after surgery

The sensation of a speck in the eye under the upper eyelid very often appears after various surgical interventions carried out using the LASIK and PRK technology. Also such sensations appear in patients who have undergone lens replacement or phakic lens implantation.

It is worth noting that the discomfort after eye surgeries at proper care takes place in just a few days.

These are conditions when there are no foreign objects and defects on the eyelids and cornea, but the person still complains about the presence of interference in the eyes.

For example, a small vessel burst in the eye and a hemorrhage formed. This often happens to people who are overworked and have increased intracranial pressure. Outwardly, there are no signs of pathology, and the patient complains that he has colitis in the eye.

Also, this discomfort can be caused by dry eye syndrome. An insufficiently moistened cornea begins to react in an atypical way, even to ordinary blinking.

Finally, the sensation of a speck under the eyelid can provoke some psychosomatic illnesses. Nervous diseases and may even provoke a desire to constantly rub your eyes.

Reasons for the development of pterygium

In recent years, ophthalmologists, when examining patients complaining of the presence of a foreign object under the eyelid, more and more often find a neoplasm bearing the name. Most often it looks like a cloudy film and represents the conjunctival tissue that has undergone pathological changes. This film tends to grow, and if you do not get rid of it in time, then it will capture most of the eye, which will negatively affect the quality of vision.

Despite the fact that ophthalmologists have been familiar with this pathology for a long time, they still have not been able to determine the exact reasons for the formation of pterygium. Doctors know only the factors that provoke the development of the disease. These include:

Very often pterygium develops in humans who suffer from eye infections.

It is worth noting that doctors also fail to determine the categories of people at risk. Statistics show that the disease in equally can affect anyone of any age. Professional activity does not affect the risk of disease.

Film development stages

The pterygium has only 2 stages of development. At the first stage, the symptomatology of the disease, if there is, then it is poorly expressed. The patient does not pay attention to her. Closer to the second stage, the patient is faced with eye puffiness, conjunctival irritation and decreased visual acuity.

In the second stage, the disease becomes aggressive. The film on the eyeballs begins to grow actively. In some cases, it completely covers the cornea.

It is possible to treat the disease at any stage, but good results can be obtained only with treatment at the first stage of the development of the pterygium.

Ophthalmic examination

The doctor can determine the presence of a foreign object in the patient's organs of vision by visual examination. If such an examination does not give results, then the ophthalmologist uses various instruments. The most commonly used slit lamp and ophthalmoscope.

These instruments allow not only to assess the outer shell of the eye, but also to look inside the eyeball. Moreover, foreign microscopic particles lying on the surface of the cornea and not visible under normal lighting, in ultraviolet light, most often begin to glow. Your doctor may use safe fluorescent dyes to enhance their glow.

If foreign objects are not detected using simple instruments, then the doctor prescribes an MRI and an ultrasound scan to the patient. If an infectious pathology is suspected, smears from the cornea and conjunctiva may be prescribed.

As a rule, after a full study, the source of the ailment is identified, which allows the doctor to develop a treatment plan.

Film treatment

In a person's eyes, it may appear due to conjunctivitis. In this case, the doctor will prescribe antibacterial eye drops and ointments. This is quite enough for the treatment.

In the case of pterygium drug treatment does not give the desired effect, so the doctor first monitors the development of the disease. If the film does not increase in size and does not impair vision, then the ophthalmologist does nothing. When the disease becomes aggressive and the film begins to grow rapidly, surgical treatment is prescribed.

Today, this operation is performed with a laser and lasts no more than 30 minutes. The laser instantly seals the damaged blood vessels to avoid bleeding. In addition, the energy beam sterilizes the surgical site, minimizing the risk of infection.

During surgery, the doctor removes the growth up to the sclera. A graft is placed on the exposed area of ​​the eyeball, which is preliminarily cut out from the conjunctiva.

The operation ends with the application of an eye patch, which the patient must wear for several days.

To prevent postoperative complications the patient is prescribed a course of antibiotics and special drops that relieve puffiness.

After the operation, the patient will have to give up washing for a week to avoid accidental moisture in the eye.

After a successful operation and in the absence of postoperative complications, the film on eyeball in most cases no longer appears. If there is a relapse, then you need to immediately notify the attending physician about the problem.

Any of us can experience the sensation of a foreign body in the eye. If it is short-lived and goes away after washing away the speck with tears, then you should not worry. But when the unpleasant sensation does not go away for a long time, then you need to go to the doctors to find out why the discomfort appeared. The malaise can hide a serious illness. The sooner doctors start treating it, the more chances it will pass for the patient without consequences.

Attention, only TODAY!

The eye is a very important and extremely fragile organ. Serious loads associated with the daily use of various equipment, polluted atmosphere of cities, illnesses that have gone unnoticed often manifest themselves in the form of discomfort, discomfort and itching.

If it seems that some foreign body has got into the eye, but in fact there is nothing under the eyelids, or the field of view seems to be twitching with a film that cannot be blinked away, it is worth considering whether everything is in order.

In some cases, these symptoms become harbingers of more formidable problems.

Why is there a foreign body sensation in the eye?

The cornea is pierced with nerve endings that are sensitive to the slightest damage to its delicate surface.

It is possible that something really got into the eye. We look at the first aid that needs to be provided in this case:

Traditional treatment

Before starting treatment, you need to find out the cause of the discomfort. When the mucous membrane of the eye dries up in the dry air of apartments, unpleasant symptoms will be relieved by a nebulizer or a simple air humidifier; no special therapy is required here.

To eliminate itching and a feeling of obstruction under the eyelids with microdamage to the cornea contact lenses and dry eye diseases, tear substitutes, antibacterial ointments and drops are used to prevent secondary infection, anti-inflammatory drugs.

Inflammatory diseases of the eyes and eyelids are also treated with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral agents depending on what caused them.

Many drugs are useless and even harmful if used against microorganisms that they cannot fight: for example, antibiotics are powerless in case of herpetic conjunctivitis, and fungal lesions will not react in any way to drugs that do not have an antimycotic effect.

Therefore, you should not use all drops and ointments that come under your arm, first you need to at least roughly decide on the diagnosis.

Allergic conjunctivitis is quickly and effectively removed with antihistamines and by eliminating contact with the allergen.

But glaucoma, cataracts, vitreous degeneration require serious and long-term treatment, which may well end in failure or urgent surgery.

Surgical intervention for cataracts is as follows:

Folk remedies

In addition to antibiotics, allergy remedies, tear substitutes and a surgeon's scalpel, there are softer and more affordable folk remedies for everyone.

They will not help in all cases, but with conjunctivitis, blepharitis, barley and some other diseases, they can easily replace medicines from the pharmacy.

What will relieve painful symptoms, when there is like a speck in the eye, but in fact there is none?

First of all, these are baths and rinsing with decoctions of plants that have anti-inflammatory properties and destroy pathogenic microbes, such as:

  • chamomile;
  • Linden;
  • eyebright;
  • yarrow;
  • barberry root.

Decoctions of the same plants are also suitable for compresses on a sore eye. But more often cotton wool or gauze is used as a compress, soaked not in delicate herbal extracts, but in strongly brewed black tea.

Perfectly destroys pathogenic microbes by washing the eyes with a solution of colloidal silver.

You can replace it with water from a silver container, or simply infused in a bowl with a silver spoon at the bottom. A weak solution of baking soda has the same effect.

With chiliasis and barley, traditional medicine suggests warming up with a warm egg and eating fresh tansy inflorescences inside.

Traditional medicine will not help to completely cope with such serious diseases as glaucoma and cataracts, but they can alleviate the condition and slow down the development of the disease along with the medicines prescribed by the doctor.

Aloe juice in the form eye drops lowers intraocular pressure, removing the cause of constant irritation, like drops from diluted honey.

Also, in the case of increased intraocular pressure and clouding of the lens, tea from blueberry leaves and a decoction of nettle are useful.

Prevention measures

It is easier to prevent any problem than to deal with it later. And eye health is something that should be taken as seriously as possible. To avoid the occurrence of problems leading to cramps, discomfort and watery eyes, you need.
