Did you scratch your cornea? The cornea is one of the most sensitive parts of your body, so even a very small corneal abrasion can be uncomfortable. In addition to pain and feeling that something is in your eye, other symptoms include redness, tearing, light sensitivity, headache, blurry or decreased vision, eye twitching, a dull ache and rarely, nausea.
A bandage contact lens and antibiotics are very effective in healing corneal scratches.
