  If the wound is shallow, you can wash your eyes with boiling salt-honey water and wash it three or four times each day because the Saline water can diminish inflammation and sterilize the wounds. Or you can go to hospital to have a precise check which can make it safer or perhaps you can buy some eye drops, if you still fear of insecurity, it is better to use erythromycin ointment and spread it on your eyes daily.

  The cornea is the key part of our eyes, which would be easy injured on the surface layer of the cornea or the eyes, like photophobia. You would know the eye or the cornea is scratched immediately if you have excess amount of tears with uncomfortable sensation in the eye. In order to treat the scratched eyeball, you should blink eyes several times to remove dust, sand or other tiny objects, and flush eyes with water.
