My cat scratched the white part of my eyeball. i can see but it stings if i leave my eye open for more then a few seconds. will it heal on its own??

Corneal abrasion: You most likely have a corneal abrasion. You must consult with an ophtalmologist because if not treated this could cause permanent scarring. The eye should taped very tightly to keep the eyelid from opening and closing and therefore creating friction which aggravates the problem. You do not want your eye to become infected and a topical antibiotic should be prescribed.
