Yes, exam: An injury to your eye by a key needs an evaluation to decide how serious it is and to what type of treatment is warranted. Protecting your eye is very important and to preserve vision is vital to your ocular and physical health. Call and make an appointment right away. If you're having pain, change in vision, I recommend you have someone drive you to an urgent care facility now.

Yes: It's urgent if you have pain & emergent if you notice a change in your vision. Regardless, someone should examine you to look for corneal abrasion, puncture or foreign body (these are less likely since you're asking but it's best to be sure since you're asking).
