What happens when dirt and dust get into the eyes?

Is it harmful to the eyes? Where does the dirt/dust go if you just "blink" it away?

If you get dust or debris in the eye, do not rub it as this could cause abrasions and damage the eye. Your body's natural tears or a sterile eyewash are best for washing away any debris.
