Yet another "I'm in lots of pain/I broke a bone/There's a lump growing/I need medical attention but I'm gonna ask ATOT for advice instead of calling a doctor" thread.

if you cant find anything, you probably scratched your eyeball. it will go away in a couple days.

its definitely kodiak bear poop.

its an abscess of a tear duct. if it doesnt get better in a day you should visit an eye doc and get soem antibiotics. i had it right before a 3 day camping trip and it hurt like hell.

scoop your eye out with a tablespoon then rinse with paint thinner. Pop it back in and it will be good as new.

Most likely the case.

Try flushing your eye, other than that just let it heal.

If you experience redness, light sensitivity, vision loss, or pain you need to go see an opthalmologist ASAP.

Cornea damage can get nasty fast, don't waste time if it goes beyond irritating.

I bet it is a pimple on th edge of your eyelid.
You can fix it by poping it with a needle.

My co-worker got a grain of sand under her eyelid and it did severe damage to her eye. I'd see an eye professional ASAP.

I had this happen a couple months ago. In my case the under side of my eyelid had gotten irritated so there was a small bump which rubbed against the eye everytime I blinked. It was very annoying but not serious. The doctor prescribed me some eyedrops but in honesty I think it would have gone away on it's own. Took a few days.

Possible eye infection.

If you start seeing bad starburst patterns when you look lights then you should see your doctor. If it is an infection it'll get so bad that you'll have "strings" in your eye when you wake up.
