Yes, now.: It is important a physician exam his eye. Eye injuries can be serious, and if a surgical intervention is required, the sooner the better. Also, prophylactic antibiotic drops may be prescribed to prevent an infection.

Go: This problem can only be solved by seeing your doctor and being evaluated face-to-face. After a thorough examination, your doctor should be able to tell you what's wrong and what to do about it.

Yes. : The cut needs to be evaluated by an opthomologist. Is it infected? Is it an open globe injury? These issues require immediate attention.
