How should i make my scratched cornea feel better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Keep eye closed: When you blink, the eyelid rubs the corneal abrasion increasing the pain. Keeping your lid closed will lower the discomfort. A cool compress applied to the lid may also help. Over the counter analgesics, like ibuprofen, are also advised.
