A member asked:

Vision ok?: If your vision is not impaired and you are not having a lot of pain then this is probably just some inflammation and will resolve in a week or so. Use natural tears to help flush it out several times a day. If you have pain, vision problems or if it is not resolving, see an eye doctor.
