sure you didn't scratch your cornea? i did that once, over a year ago now i believe.... and i STILL have problems with my eye.... especially when it gets dry.... it'll hurt really bad... but yeah, i scratched my cornea and for two-three days it felt like there was something in my eye, even tho there wasn't nothing there.... you gotta be sure tho.. if you're sure there's nothing in your eye, then stop messing with it as it'll make it worse.... and no, there's really nothing you can do but wait it out...

it really sucked cuz i couldn't keep my eye open in any kinda light, like i had to wear sunglasses just to post here or watch tv... but closing it hurt it more

for some reason putting a make-shift eye patch over it made it feel better.. maybe you should try it.... just get a long sock or strip of cloth and tie it on your head over your eye, doesn't have to be tight.
