Suggest Treatment For Irritation From Foreign Body In Eye

10 days ago i had something blow into my eye,it is now under the right side of my left eye lid irritating and sometimes like a little sharp needle,my eye lid is swollen and vision is now impaired..when i close my eye i can still feel irritation and most uncomfotable feeling making my nervous system very bad..at first i tried to wash it out with saline and wipe under the eye lid with cooton bud,but no relief..5 days ago i went to my doctor who sent me to a eye specialist,the specialist examined my eye,but did not completely roll back my eye lid,only partial..said he could not detect anything,but i may have dry eye or something similar..have tried to explain its more than that,as im certain its a foriegn body,very sharp at times,then not so sharp but then returns,,probably very small object..ive been sent away with anti biotics and eye drops..thats 5 days ago and its no different..im certain it is not an infection alone..really now going crazy from the irratation and dont know where to turn..its pointless going back to the same eye specialist..please advise..

Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hi
Even if you re visit the same ophthalmologist and you tell your problem, he will take care of that.

In acute viral infection also one feel like this.

There is no harm if in such a situation one start putting acyclovir eye oint 5 times a day along with an antibiotic drops. Take some analgesic also sos.

In the mean time specialist consultation may be planned.
