grittiness is a common eye symptom described as feeling like sand, dust, or a foreign body is in the eye. It is most often used to describe irritation on the surface of the eye and eyelids. Patients commonly use the term in dry eye, eyelid inflammation, and contact lens discomfort. Clinicians use it as a clue to guide eye-surface evaluation and testing.
