My dog accidentally licked my eye. i felt it touch my eyeball. will this lead to vision-threatening diseases? so far, there is no redness and no pain.

No risk, no worry: A dog's (or any other animal's) mouth is unlikely to have any germs that would cause any sort of eye infection. Don't worry about it.

Yesterday, I must have gotten something in my eye when doing a home project. It was likely a piece of wood or a paint chip. I should have been wearing eye protection. Hindsight is 20/20 (OK, bad dad joke). This morning, my upper eyelid is swollen, red, and sensitive to the touch. My vision seems to be fine. At what point would I need to be seen? I have been flushing with eye drops and cold compress. Anything else I should do? eye injury?
