Gritty feeling
A gritty uncomfortable feeling can be a symptom of a pink eye. It most commonly occurs when pink eye is due to allergic causes. That scratchy feeling of having sand in your eye is never comfortable for the patient. If you have that gritty, irritated sensation over time, visit your doctor immediately so that the cause can be identified and treatment can be provided as early as possible. Eye care professional can help determine what is causing it and prescribe certain eye drops or ointment according to the condition of the eye.
