See eye doctor: It is possible you may have scratched an important layer of your eye. The only way to know for sure is by having your eyes thoroughly examined with instruments usually only at your ophthalmologist's office. Make an appointment ASAP. Best wishes.

Eye eval: I agree with Dr. Sumner, many docs, including most PCP (definitely eye docs) have the ability to see with simple "dye" testing and a black 'fluorescent' light, if you have a corneal abrasion or if any irritant is still in your eye. Best wishes.
