Virtual Care for Eye Irritation

Sand In Your Eye?

Summer adventures often mean spending more time outdoors, whether you're relaxing at the beach, exploring hiking trails, visiting parks, or enjoying a day at the lake. Unfortunately, blowing sand, dust, and other small particles can sometimes find their way into your eyes, causing irritation and discomfort.

A mild eye irritation may improve after gently rinsing the eye with clean water or sterile saline solution. However, persistent discomfort, redness, excessive tearing, or the sensation that something is still in your eye may warrant an evaluation by a healthcare provider.

Common symptoms may include:

• Red or irritated eyes
• Excessive tearing
• Gritty or sandy sensation
• Mild swelling around the eye
• Sensitivity to light
• Eye discomfort after spending time outdoors
