Yes, it could be...: 19 y/o female asks Is it dangerous for the eye to be poked with a fingernail on the lower part near the bone, on the eyelid but still on the eyeball feeling pain? Yes, it could be; but then again it may be benign. However this kind of injury should not be ignored as bad infection can happen very quickly there. One should see an Eye Doctor asap or at least see their PCP within 24hrs.
