Had lots of sand splashed in my eyes while on beach; removing sand for days after. how do my eyes deal with lots of sand coming in? any harm? thx.

Wear sunglasses: its not good to get a lot of sand in your eyes. Suggest you wear wrap-around or occlusive sunglasses at the beach. If sand does get in your eyes, rinse thoroughly with water or "Eyewash" which can be bought at a drugstore.
