Honestly, Im very careful when it comes to the eye. Maybe you should try to go to an eye dr., or go to one of the walk in healthcare places at least. just to be safe. They may be able to give you somthing to make it feel better.

She may have scratched your cornea - sounds scary but it heals. I agree with the previous poster that you should go to the Dr and have it checked out - in case that's what it is, you don't want to be putting chemicals in your eyes (like visine) even if they are meant to help. I'm sorry it hurts

I think you should go to the eye dr. before thanksgiving gets here cause most dr. take off the day before. you might need like a cream or something.

Definitely go to the eye doctor. My BIL had this happen with his dog and the dog had actually scratched his eye pretty bad. He had to use antibiotics and wear an eye patch for a couple of days. Good luck and hope it feels better soon.

ok - go to the doctor. and you should do it now...everything will be fine, but if it is a scratch or if something is in there you don't want to do further damage. I used to be in optics (not a doctor) but i did a lot of study on the human eye. you know what you could even do, go to like a Sterling Optical thats near you and has a doctor. have him / her take a look at it with his equipment. thats an easy way to start without going to the E-room. that is if you are up and moving around and at work or whatever.

good luck! let us know what happens!

Go to the doctor. I'm sure it's nothing serious, but you want to make sure you're doing the right things for whatever the problem is.

Feel better!! Eye injuries can be so irritating!!!

Definitely go to an eye dr. and dont use any more Visine, that stuff is very harsh. Water only.

Definitely go see someone ASAP!
I scratched my cornea a few years ago on vacation (it was windy and sand actually scratched me!)
They will give you antibiotic drops to put in your eyes so it will heal...

You very well could've scratched your cornea. You should go to the doctor ASAP so that they can give you the proper eye drops to use to heal.

I agree. Def go to the doc. I've had probs with my cornea and it's not something you want to mess around with. Don't want it getting worse. My opthalmologist is great. Let me know if you want his info.

Definitely go to the doctor because you do not want to play around with your eyes. He/she will probably give you some drops to soothe the eye and help heal it.
