Hi tyra, looks like a piece of hair has got lodged on to your conjuctiva. It would be best for you to go visit an opthalmologist so that he can do an exam and if required remove the hair part and give you some antiseptic or antiallergic drops. Hair may also have got embedded in the cornea which explains the cloudyness though ther would be sever pain.,one way or the other it is best to get it removed and get treated for the same. Take care.

Dont worry. God has designed the human body such that small things tend to take care of themselves. It might be that u have caused a small burn in the skin of the eye(conjunctiva). But this tissue is pretty resilient to damage. Watering is the way of the eye to remove any dust or to take care of any small foreign body.
If you dont feel ok in a day, then maybe you can consult an eye specialist. In the meanwhile take care that no dust goes into your eye.
