Hello dear
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query
I understand your concern

Sorry to hear about your eye injury.
Injury to eye by plant injury produce allergic reaction and subconjunctival hemorrhage. Just check for any red/brown spot in white part of the eye.
If there is no red spot then do not worry.
Use eye drops like artificial tears gives relief.

Its always better to get checked up by ophthalmologist.
Application of antibiotics drops after consultation with an ophthalmologist.
