A member asked:

Hi there i have a very irritating spot on the white of my eye, what might this be? everytime i blink it feels as though something is scratching my eye

Eye: Without delay you must see your eye doctor as soon as possible. Not a big problem most of the time. At the age of six I broke five pair of glasses and now, near age 72, I'm still doing OK.
