My son has a small piece of hair in his eye atm too. It's been there since yesterday and idk what to do either. His tear ducks arent working yet that I've noticed, that or he dosnt know how to cry lol. I was hoping he would flush it out on his own with tears when he cried, but like I said, no tears are forming withhim yet and he will be two weeks this weds. I think it will come out soon tho cuz he does build up eye boogers daily, so it will most likely come out on its own and I'll just end up wipping it away as I do with his eye boogers everyday. If your really worried I'd call your Dr. Otherwise I don't see this as a big concern.

Yeah, don't mess with it, it will work itself out on it's own. If you need to help a blocked tear duct, or your baby's eyes are "congested" here is a little tip: you can wipe away the excess ooze with a washcloth dampened with water, and wipe from the inside of the eye (part closest to the nose) outward in a sweeping motion. Don't apply pressure and be very gentle.....then....

If you are breastfeeding, you can squirt your milk into the baby's eye or onto the eyelid. Breast milk has anti-bacterial properties and will help clear the congestion and prevent infection...and may even help flush out a stray hair.

Good luck.

im 16 and my right eye has been bothering me. at first it was just allergies, then i started feeling a sharp poking kind of pain. whilr looking in the mirror i noticed an eyelash. i tried removing it but i wouldnt come out. then i had my uncle look at it and he noticed that this eyelash was growing on the inside of my eye. im really scared and this thing is really hurting. if someone please knows anything, please write me back or if you can tell me why this is happenng i would like that to.

Mag: you could also use the artificial tear drops (not the medicated ones) if you need to flush something out.

Shaishay: Don't be scared. This is a really common problem. You can keep trying to pull it out, but if it won't come out, you probably should go to the eye doctor to have it taken out (especially since it hurts). If it keeps doing it, you can have laser hair removal on it so it won't grow back.
