you have scratch on cornea. the idea of patch is to avoid id rubbing over it. infection should be prevented. Keep the patch for one day.i twill heal. ge it examined next day. if required antibiotic eye drop like ofloxsacin.3% can be used. but patch is to be kept for one more day. if you do not want to keep patch, then apply neosporine eye oint ment. after 2days itwill be normal
