If no help irrigatin: g your eyes under the faucet, it's time to go to your eye doctor, and have your lid exerted to remove the lash or foreign object. For now until you get there, you can use OTC Artificial tear lubricating gel to reduce the irritation. Don't delay! Or your cornea or conjunctiva will feel irritated. Good luck!
