The : The ocular surface (including the cornea) has many nerve endings. If the surface cells are disrupted (as in an abrasion of the cornea, the presence of a foreign body, or an infection) pain can result. The reason you are feeling this with blinking is because your lid is likely moving across this injured part of the eye surace. The pain will not go away until this injury goes away. (an analogous situation would be if you scraped your knee on concrete. It would certainly hurt if you rubbed it.) you should present to your local eye doctor if possible as they will be able to provide a proper diagnoses and treatment. Thanks you.

You : You may have a corneal abrasion or a foreign body. It should be evaluated by an ophthalmologist.
