A member asked:
If my eye suddenly hit by small pebbles/dust, it fells like it goes into my eyes. actually where does it go?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Outside of the eye: The front surface of the eye is surrounded by a membrane (the conjunctiva) which wraps from the edge of the colored portion (the cornea) posteriorly and folds back to coat the inside of the lids. This is an external space, not connected to the inside of the eye or body. So debris entering this space is flushed out by tears and generally poses no hazard unless it is of high velocity and power.
