I : I would go see your ophthalmologist. You need to find out if you have a scratch on the surface, inflammation in the eye, an open globe, or an infection. Also, be sure to wear protective goggles with yard work.

I : I suggest that you see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible with an injury of this type. Lawn mowers can cause the rock to fly at a speed that can cause serious injury.

You : You need to see an ophthalmologist or go to the emergency room where one will be called. There can be damage to the eye that you may not notice or have any sypmtoms for so a thorough check is necessary.
