    Dr. Gary Hirshfield of American Academy of Ophthalmology answered:
    I would recommend that you see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible for this problem. Common causes for a symptom like this are an eyelash or foreign body in the eye, but it could also be a viral, bacterial or fungal infection in the cornea. Corneal problems such as erosions or scratches can also cause this symptom.
