A member asked:

I got poked in the eye last night and it still hurts.. is that normal to still hurt?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No.: You need an eye exam. Sometimes you can superficially scratch the surface of your eye and it heals within 24 hours. Continued pain signifies a more severe injury / infection or perhaps a retained foreign body. All of these could cause a world of trouble for your vision.
