See an eye doctor: Most corneal burns from gasoline will heal, my concern is the period of time the gasoline remained on your cornea under your contact. I suggest seeing an eye doctor who will be able to evaluate the extent of your injury.

Seek care: Chemical burns of the cornea are serious injuries and should be evaluated and treated by an ophthalmologist ASAP!
