Hi,
What happens to the dust that enters the eye? Does it go into the eyeballs? Will it affect the eyesight in the future?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Usually when dust enters the eye, it does not "enter the eye" per se.
- It actually lodges onto the eye surface and causes irritation.
- Thus leading to pain, redness of eyes, and secretion of tears.
- There might be a slight disturbance in the vision which is temporary.
- As soon as the dust is removed, the swelling and irritation of eyes reduce and the vision comes back to normal.
- However, there are chances of infection due to bacteria in the dust.
- Wash your eyes immediately with cold water.
- Avoid rubbing your eyes vigorously since it might lead to corneal abrasion.
