Yesterday, I was zipping my coat. Zipper got stuck then broke, and it came to my eye. Now, my eye is all red and hurts. What should I do?

Put an ice pack over the eye to prevent further swelling then go to a doctor. They may be able to give you something for the pain as well as somthing to prevent infection. I know it hurts and it may be difficult to see so have someone else drive you and do not touch you eye.

You could have a scratch on the sclera, or worse. See your family doctor for referral to opthalmologist. You only have one pair of eyes. Read up on sympathetic opthalmology? Injury to one eye can infect the other.

Nothing, just got hit in the eye. Wait it out. Take some tylenol or something, maybe that will help the pain.

possible corneal abrasion or conjuctival injury.
go see an ophthalmologist (eye doctor) not an optomotrist.
