Hair in eye refers to the presence of a hair or hairs in the eye. Anyone with hair on their head can experience it, though the hair is more likely to enter the eye if it's long or if you rub your eyes frequently.
While it's usually a minor inconvenience, hair in the eye can be painful, especially if it gets stuck under the eyelid. It can also cause irritation, redness, and watering of the eyes. Hair in the eye is a common problem. In most cases, it can be easily removed by gently flushing the eye with water or by using a cotton swab to remove the hair. However, if the hair is stuck under the eyelid, it may need to be removed by a doctor.
