eye

i feel like i have something in my eye, a doctor took a look and found nothing.
I flushed my eye a few times, so im wondering if it came out and scratched my eye and that is what i am feeling.

Just before my retina detached a year ago, I felt that something was in my eye. Was this just a coincidence? I felt it for several weeks? Maybe I was just aware that somethng was wrong with n=my vision?

Sometimes the offending object can be very small and under the upper eyelid.  Other times there is nothing in the eye at all but eye "feels" scratchy due to a poor tear film or dry eyes.  The flushing of the eyes can actually worsen the symptoms in that case.  All I can tell you is that you need to be seen again -perhaps by another ophthalmologist or the same one if you like him.
