Foreign object in the eye
I was having a haircut today. While having the haircut I felt like a hair went into my eye. I tried to find it by looking into the mirror but couldn't find it and other people also tried to find but didn't see any. I still feel discomfort in the eye and it's still reddish. So is it possible that hair can still be there but cannot be seen because it's too small to be seen by naked eye?

Do a proper Eyewash with an Eyecup 2-3 times. (You will get Eyecup in the Chemist shop)
Apply some cold compresses over that eye.
If still discomfort persists then please visit your nearest ophthalmologist for a detailed eye examination.
