hi, i cycle a track that is pretty dusty, and i often feel dust particles enter my eye though i lose feeling of them pretty quickly and after riding my eyes feel completely normal. I was just wondering whether it is o.k. to cycle like this or will it harm my eyes in the long run. I tend to find glasses a bit uncomfortable and prefer not to wear them.

The eye is an amazing organ and is very resilient to seem so fragile. Spaeking from an experience(non medical) view I would say no.
Your eyes may get irritated but probably not permanently damaged.
Of course too much of anything is ,well, too much so I recommend eye protection. -
Like jhuskey said, probably not, but eyewear would be a good idea. It really sucks when something big gets in there and you can't hold your eye open, which isn't the best situation when on a bike.

I ride in dusty roads also and I have no doubt: I wear glasses, the ones I use for driving, but I really don't need them for riding my bike, but the glasses give me just the little extra protection I need. I sometimes go into the paved road and then insects heating my eyes may become dangerous for the ride.
