I just blink a thousand times and pray to Jesus it comes out eventually. Is there a proper technique to deal with them or is it something everyone has to suffer through?

I use a pair of needlenosed pliers. Just keep scraping the surface until something comes off, sometimes it can be hard to get a hold of it.

Rub my eye to try and work it over towards the tear duct if I don't have access to a good mirror. If I do have a mirror then I try and work it underneath my lower eye lid which I can just pull down and run my finger along.

Touching my eye directly seems to cause more irritation than just rubbing more times until I get it out.

Scrub it out with a brass welding brush. Don’t use a steel one; they might damage your eye.

Gently hold the eyelash of the eye in question and pull it just over your bottom eyelid. This doesn't hurt but will cause your eye to tear up. Then let go and squirt the eye a few times with a water bottle. Works for me.

If your eye offends you, pluck it out and cast it away, imo. It's better to walk through life with one eye, than with two eyes, but one has junk stuck in it.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

I usually just take my eye out and run it under some water. You should do that every morning. Putting an eye back in after it's soaked in cold water feels amazing. Plus you don't want to be rubbing your dry eye while on the toilet. That's how pink eye happens.

Wet the end of a Q-tip and wipe it off. Like everything involving Q-tips this is probably dangerous as gently caress, but I don't care because it works so well.

Definitely a case for scooping that silly old eye out (you have another one. Who needs two?) with a spoon. Also: make sure you use a clean spoon.

I just rub my eye until it stops being a problem. I’ll also some times try to pull on the lashes because it worked for me once as a kid.

You can get this little cup that you fill with water and put over your eye, then open your eye and look around (kinna like when you open your eyes while swimming. You could probably even make one to use.

Another thing is to pull your top lid over your bottom lid as someone mentioned.

This will work, but drop your eyes from two or three feet up so you build up enough speed to knock the hair loose.
