Could I have damaged my eye(s)?

I work for an eye surgeon and yes, you could have what sounds like a corneal abrasion. These things can be very painful as there are over 200 nerve endings on the surface of your cornea. That is why when you get an eyelash in your eye it feels like a tree branch. Your eye probably also has what we call a "foreign body sensation", feels like you got sand in your eye but you really didn't, that is the way the abrasion feels to most people. My advice, see an eye doctor within 24 hours, not an optomotrist, they will properly treat you and possibly give you some drops or maybe put what is called a bandaid contact lens in your eye for a day or so to calm it down and make you feel better. In the meantime, you can try over the counter eye lubricating drops. NOT VISINE!!! It will dry your eye out and add to your pain. Hope this helps.......

Inspect in a mirror for physical damage that you can see. Does any exist? If it does what does it look like. Abrasion or cut in the cornea? This will heal but you may want to consult a doctor to get some drops that prevent infection.

I wouldn't worry too much if you can't see any physical damage. Your eyes are actually pretty resilient. Once I saw a guy on Ripley's believe it or not who poured a bunch of sand into his eyes while they were open. He teared up and all the sand washed out.

You should have the school nurse look at it she can give you something it is never a good idea to put any drops in your eyes unless told to by a professional.I know an opthamologist that wouldn't let interns prescribe eye drops. Asking medical questions at this site is a bad idea. The people that answer you are not being held liable if you follow their advice and it turns out to be wrong!

It is likely that you scratched it a little. Can you go to a school nurse or your family physician? It would be a good idea to have someone take a look at it. They will know if it is anything serious and might be able to give you some ointment to make it feel better.

Well, the first thing you should do is see a doctor. It's possible that you damaged the eye, but it's also possible that it's nothing, and the eye's just dry because of leftover eraser.

You are not going to go blind!

The worst that has happened is you have some 'corneal abrasions' - sounds nasty - and feels very 'scratchy' but will it heal in time.

Rest your eye - wear a patch if necessary - but don't worry - it'll all come right in the end.

Your eyes can heal just like the rest of your body. If its not coming out of the socket i believe you will be fine. The next time you think you can eat a pencil through your eye maybe you will think twice...

Go to the doctor. When I was younger I jammed my thumbnail in my eye, which is much sharper than a eraser... I'm fine. Our bodies heal themselves quite well.

Well, yeah, it's possible. If you're really really worried, go see your eye doc.

I do know that the eye is one of the fastest healing organs in the body, though, so if you give it a day, it will probably be better.

The damage is probably temporary, it should bug you for about a week. If it is still bad after 10 days, see an ophthalmologist.
