What other people have said: you don't have anything in your eye, anymore. It's just irritation from rubbing it so much. Honestly, it will go away if you just have self-control and don't rub it for a while. You can also get saline eye drops from the store, if you think it would help.

Go see a Primary Care doctor. Sometimes called family medicine. They will be able to help you, if not they can send you to an ophthalmologist.
Yeah...as others have said, it could be a scratched cornea. I've scratched mine before. Normally for recovery, they tell you to take some time off and try to sleep it off. Sometimes they'll prescribe antibiotics drops or something like that.
A general physician might be good enough to diagnose this. However, if they do find something lodged in your eye, like a splinter or a sliver of glass, you'll probably need a referral to an eye doctor of some kind.
And if you can't do anything else, don't rub it, and get some rest. An anti-inflamatory might help.

Go to an eye doctor before you lose your site in that eye. Talking from experience here. Do it now or tomorrow first thing. It could have worked it's way into your eye at this point and it will dig further every day until you go blind from it going so far in it starts to do damage inside.
I'm not kidding I had it happen to me with s tiny piece of metal the doctor had to dremel it out.
I came here to tell you my experience. I recently thought I had something JUST like this ! It was only a few weeks ago, leading me to believe that the dry weather has something to do to it. I always had something that got into my eyes, I thought it was the bath towels shedding tiny hairs or fuzz and it would get stuck on the edges of my eyelids. I fussed with opening my eyes in the shower or lots of Visene drops. Nothing helped so I totally striped my bed down , washed EVERYTHING through the laundry, washed my floors and eliminated all dust and pollen, took a Reactine allergy pill and I have been perfect for weeks since it happened. I do have some allergies but nothing major. Just my 2 cents.

If you have a scratched cornea it can get ulcerated. Go to an eye Dr. They can lead to blindness.
