Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that you were hit by a plastic material at high velocity which has entered your eye. If it is so it indicates intraocular foreign body and it is an emergency and this requires confirmation of diagnosis and removal at the earliest.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist at the earliest for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
