I hit my eye! now it's swollen and red. what should i do?

Go get checked: Eyes can get bad really quick. If it is red in the area that is usually white, it is probably a small broken blood vessel which requires no treatmen. If you are having increasing pain or visual impairment you should get seen quickly.
