Rubbed my eye while driving.

2020-07-08 01:52:33
Hello sir/mam. 3hour ago while I'm in driving suddenly some dust hit my eye and unfortunately I rubbed my eye very badly. It became red and seems some foldings or streach in my white eye. I slept immediately after washing my eye. After 2h redness is almost normal but some disturbance on rubbed area while moving my eyeball to particular side. Any problem???

In such a condition, a slitlamp evaluation is a must to rule out any corneal injury as well as to rule out a foreign body in cornea or sulcus subtarsalis.
Next Steps
Please visit & consult an ophthalmologist nearby

In such situation it's always a better option to get a consultation done with any of your nearby Ophthalmologist to rule out any foreign body stuck inside and to check for any superficial injury to corneal epithelium or stroma due to the impact of foreign body or damage due to  vigorous rubbing.

If you feel something is there in the eye, get it checked by consulting an ophthalmologist in person. Very important to rule out any foreign body in the eye.
