This happens quite often, your eye is suddenly hurting badly
with the feeling like “something is in it” well you could very well have
corneal abrasion.
The cornea is the front window of your eye and it covers the
iris (the colored part of the eye) round the pupil. When the cornea is
scratched, cut, or even scraped these are all known as corneal abrasions.
Usually these injuries are caused by your fingernail, makeup
brushes, rubbing of the eyes, and even paper cuts. Or sometimes “dry eye” can
actually cause the abrasion.
Symptoms of corneal abrasions are: tearing, redness, pain,
soreness, and blurred vision. Some treatments are applying a patch over the
eye, taking antibiotics to prevent infection and also eyes drops to keep the
eye lubricated.
Minor abrasions will usually heal within a day or two but
other larger abrasions can take about a week. Unfortunately the process can be
painful because there are more nerve endings in the cornea than anywhere else
in the body
