don't worry , this is the defence mechanism of the eye against injuries , these tears keep the from dryness and infection because it contains inflammatory cells .
you probably will not see an abrasion , it could be seen by a device called a slit lamp at ophthalmology clinic .
there is no need to worry unless his eyes become red and congested, in this case rolling out a corneal abrasion is mandatory .
I hope this helps
