Today, when i woke up, i rubbed my eyes kind of hard.
Now i see a small gray-ish line that moves with my left eye when i look at something white, like a piece of paper.
What is it? Will it ever go away?

Well, i dont see it super clearly, and my eye does feel itchy.
And i dont see it everywhere, i only see it when i look at a wall or something plain.
It looks like its getting better too.
I am awake for only three hours so far.

It could be a scratched cornea but if you did it does produce irritation right now. You need to get checked ASAP for a detached retina. These however, usually produce complete blindness in that area of eye. Any eye dude like an optometrist can do this. Detached retinas are serious scratched corneas heal. The symptoms of a detached retina besides blindness are a grey curtain moving which you describe or floaters. If I were you I would get it checked just in case.

What did your ophthalmologist say? They are the only ones that have the resources (equipment and education) to answer your question. I don't think you will find too many ophthalmologist sitting in front of a computer answering questions for FREE! Get a grip. Let the doctors do the doctoring and let us cyber people do the silly stuff.

just to be safe, go to your eye doctor. its most likely not a scratched cornea, cause if that was the case, you'd be in a whole lot of pain. they'll probably test for it though. and all they do is put these eyedrops in your eye to see if there's breakage in the top layer of the cornea. but just to be safe, i would definietly go to the eye doctor to make sure it's not something little know that could eventually grow into something worse.

Gray in vision is not good. That could mean blood.
Get to an opthalmologist today. You could actually have a retina problem; rubbing hard was a coincidence. Get in TODAY!

This happened to me before. Went away within days if not just go to the doctors :)

I'm sorry to tell you that I work in an optical department, I have investigated your case, and it will never go off. We have had many cases like this in which it will never go off. The only thing you could do is get treatment from a doctor to help your problem, but it will not go off, it is forever, it's a rupture in your cornea that will never grow back.

I have scratched my eyes many times. They have always healed well.
You should be fine, unless you scratched it super bad.

eyes heal very fast, it will probably be better soon, if not go to the doctor.
