Like any other parts of the body, the eye can be injured by a major accident or trauma, although it is somewhat protected by the bones surrounding it. Trauma can cause most of the problems. In addition, small objects can get into the eye easily, and particles of soot and other wind borne dirt can cause great discomfort. The tearing that results from the irritation usually float foreign substances away, but occasionally they have to be removed by an instrument.
When a particle in the eye or under the eyelid is not easily dislodged and begins in cause redness, it should be removed by someone qualified to do so. The eye should never be poked at or into by untrained hands. Leaving contact lenses in the eye for too long can cause discomfort which lasts for quite a while even after they have been taken out. Bacterial or viral infections of the outer surface of the eye such as conjunctivitis or pinkeye, or of the eyelids, are quite common and should be treated by a doctor if they are extensive or chronic.
