Help! minor (I think) eye injury

Does anyone know anything about eyes?
DS 10mo accidentally poked me in the eye a few hours ago.
It's really sore, feels scratched and is still streaming. I've put a cold compress on it but doesn't seem to be doing anything.

I've called a couple of local opticians but they're all closed as its a holiday weekend here.

Do I need to see someone about it or just ride it out?

Who knew poked eyes could be so sore?!

Best thing you can do is pop to the chemist and buy some Viscotears gel. Put plenty in,it's very soothing and will sort you out very quickly. If you're still sore on Monday, GP or Optician is your best bet in case you've scratched your cornea.

Bloody sore isn't it?

thanks just back from OoH as i couldn't take the pain anymore!

i have a scratch on my cornea got ab drops which hopefully will sort me out.

got an eyewash from pharmacy earlier on and it hurt like hell, that tipped me over the edge & prompted a call to OoH.
