Suggest Treatment For Eye Pain Caused After An Injury

I was playing basketball and got poked in the eye pretty good today. I had double vision for about 15 minutes. I can see fine now, but when I went outside in the sun my eye hurt. It basically hurts whenever it adjusts for a bright light. Do I need to go to the doctor or should I wait a couple days?

Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
Welcome to health care magic.
I reviewed your history.
These symptoms indicate probable corneal abrasion.
The treatment is by use of antibiotic eye drops and artificial tears eye drops.
Since probably cornea is involved you need to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
