However, some eye irritation can be an indication of some health problems such as corneal ulcer, dry eye syndrome, conjunctivitis and blepharitis, among which corneal ulcer can contribute to blindness if the ulcer is severe.Under such circumstances, you should go to consult your eye doctor as early as possible and check out the cause so as to receive relevant treatment.
