  1. keep it covered and see a doctor. You don't want it to become infected


  2. See a doctor right away. I know its painful and irritating, but on the good side, the eye heals faster than any other part of the human body. See a doctor for sure and get some prescribed anti-biotic drops.

  3.   I had a sliver of wood removed from my cornea years ago. Call your boss, you won't be able to work tomorrow. Are you on your way to the ER yet? GO!

  4. You need to see an ophthalmologist. In the meantime keep the eye protected with an eye patch. The eye doctor needs to see the cornea with a special lamp. then they will apply an antibiotic ointment and protect the eye with the patch for at least one day.

  5. you should be in the emergency room right now as oppose to Yahoo
