Foreign Objects / Irritants

How do you get at foreign oobject in your eye?

The air around us is full of objects that are too small to capture your attention ordinarily but too large for your normal tear production to simply wash away. If these objects come in contact with your eye, you'll notice. A foreign object could be a piece of dust, pollen, grit or something larger and more serious; an irritant could be chlorine from a swimming pool.
