hair in eye

Last week, my cat's eyes were cloudy, so we took him to the vet. They said he could have feline herpes and gave us an anti-inflammatory medicine. He's a lot better. But as I was putting the drops in his eyes just now, I noticed one of them had a small hair in it. It's completely inside the eye, so I can't pull it out. Anyone have any ideas as to how to get it out?

If it's stuck in there really good and can't be flushed out you'll have to have a vet do it. Trying to pull it out yourself could risk damaging the eye, lids, or worse if the kitty moves.

Thanks! Well... I went to check on his eye again. The hair went away. So I was finally able to put the other drop in.
