Worth a Dr. Visit: Even if there isn't a foreign body still in your eye, you may have a scratch or an ulcer because of it, which will need a topical antibiotic. If there is something still stuck in your eyelid or the eye itself, you doctor will also need to remove it, and possible refer you to an eye specialist. If you wear contact lenses, don't wear those until a doctor can check you out. Heal well!
