More than likely you don't have something in your eye. You probably had something in there at one point that scratched your cornea or the inside of your eyelid. It will feel like something is in there but there isn't.

Scratched cornea is most likely what you are dealing with. Stop rubbing and scratching. Get some vizene or something. Artificial tears to keep buildup from forming.

Make an appointment with an ophthalmologist, NOT and optometrist. Optometrists are mostly about correcting near or far sightedness.

I'm no expert, but if it's not an emergency, my guess would be an optometrist would be the most financially beneficial choice. Check your insurance though, if urgent care visits are covered (or have like a $20-$30 copay or something) you should do that.

Have you tried removing your eye and rinsing it off?

I strongly suggest going to an eye doctor.

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.
