Where does the stuff in your eye go?

When there’s like a hair or something else in your eye and then it goes away, where does it go?? And is it safe to just have random lil objects floating around in your eye socket like that? Especially when you dont know they’re there??

Answer #1

^ yup lol

Floaters are total normal, just little floaty things that you see. And yeh hair or other things fall out.

Answer #2

The hair or something eventually falls out. The stuff you see floating in your eyes are called floaters.

Answer #3

If you get something in your eye like a piece of hair or make up or sand or something it eventually comes out, either by your eyes watering because there is something foreign in there or when you blink the eyelashes and bring it away from the eye ball.

Floaters are different, they are strands or spots that you see in your field of vision, that you cant see if you looked at your eye in the mirror..its part of the vitreous fluid pulling away from the retina..its not normal for everyone, its caused by some kind of damage to the vitreous.
