My son poked my left eye last night. I couldn't open my eyes for the next 5 minutes and after I did, I felt like there's a piece of sand near the top eyelid that never want to go away no matter how much I rinsed my eye with water. This morning, I woke up with the same feeling in the eye. I drove myself to see a GP and I could barely drive with both eyes opened. The "sand feeling" felt bigger and more irritating when I drove and looked into the bright road. But when I reached home, the feeling was more comfortable and I could even use both eyes to read and surf the net. Please advise if I should go to see an eye specialist or wait till the pain goes away on its own. GP prescribed me with Neo Deca eyedrop.
