Foriegn Body Sensation

Foriegn Body Sensation

What causes the foriegn body sensation in dry eyes?  It is crazy - I feel like there is an eyelash in my eye, I look and there is nothing.  What is going on?  Is the sensation real or a trick?

1. Be sure its not a eyelash or FB
2. In Dry eyes it can be caused by rough spots on the cornea, dry spots,   things called corneal filaments  which are surface cells pulled lose and by blinding twirled into tiny pigtails on the cornea.

USe the searach feature or archives or go to my blog to read about treatment of dry eyes
