have someone flip your eyelid and check for an eyelash that is growing from the inside of your lid - my mother complained for months that there was something in her eye until finally I convinced her to let me have a real hard look - when I flipped the eyelid I saw an eyelash growing there - got the tweezers and plucked it out - she has not had any problems since.

Do you wear contacts? If so, the obvious thing would be of course to put in a new pair, or clean those. You may have a scratch on your cornea or a little cold in the eye. I would wash the eye really well with saline solution and keep it as lubricated as you can during the day. You might also have "dry eye", especially if you have allergies. I have a mild case of dry eye and have to lubricate the eyes really well in the morning and at bedtime, and often during the day as well. If the feeling persists for more than a week, I would see an opthalmologist, just to be sure... your eyes are very precious!

Your eye may need lubrication, it may lack natural lubrication. It´s not uncommon. You should see an ophtalmologist and he´ll probably prescribe some drops to apply periodically. Another possibility is that you lacrymal canal is clogged. But that is more uncommon.

You could have a small stye. The doctor said if you put a very warm cloth (as hot as you can go without burning your face) and hold it there, it should pop itself.

In addition to the other things mentioned here, you could have chronic"dry eye."

there is probably a little cyst on your eyelid or a very light hair you can't see.
