Go to ER!: If your eye is poked with a pencil, serious injury can result. A physician -- preferably an ophthalmologist -- needs to examine your eye to assess and treat any damage. Please go to an er for help with this.

Be seen urgently: Such an injury could calls occult damage to the eye that you may not be aware of endless a good examination is done. I would be seen emergently, especially if there is pain or decreased vision involved.
