Should I Be Worried For Pain In Eyes, Headache After Metal Tip Entered Into Eye?
Yesterday I was at school and I was standing next to my friend with an open umbrella. When she moved the metal tip of the umbrella entered my eye and it went in quite a bit; maybe even toughed the back of my eye. I can see perfectly fine but it does hurt and I have a headache that I feel around my left eye. Should I be worried?

Hello
It seems from the history that you had a injury by a metal tip to the eye.
If it caused injury to the eye it can be dangerous. The dangerous signs are blurring of vision, redness of eyes.
If you have any of these symptoms you need to consult your eye doctor for further examination and treatment accordingly.
If you are having only pain around the eye then you need to take analgesic drugs and if it does not get relieved you need doctor consultation.
Thank you
