Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Eyeball

Hi, I am experiencing an uncomfortable prickly feeling on the bottom of my eyeball, closest to the lower lid. It feels like sharp shards of glass poking my eye, which is bloodshot. It began when I rubbed my eye and being a soft contact lense wearer, my contact fell out. I have yet to put it back in, yet the pain ensues. Help.

it appears you have dry eye syndrome for which there was itching-and you have to rub it. Now put back the lens and apply artificial tear drop like refresh eye teardrop. dry eye causes corneal erosion. now use your specs andconti nue with drop till you feel normal. till such time do not use contact lens.
