Washing the corner of the eye during wudhu

Q: Is it necessary to rub the eyes when making wudhu?  If a little dirt is stuck in the corner of the eye, is wudhu accepted?

A: Yes, one should ensure that one washes all areas of the face including the side of the eyes where dirt gathers.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
