Eye Pain

I was running yesterday morning in the dark, on the side of a path, and got jabbed in my eye by part of tree branch. It hurt like hell and I walked for a couple of minutes until I could see out of my (now very painful) right eye again, and then went on and finished the run.

Last night I woke up every 30 minutes with a lot of pain. I even filled up the sink with warm water and stuck my head in, opened my eyes, moved them around etc in order to clean it... but it's still really painful today.

I'm going to see an opthalmologist tomorrow, but I'm wondering if there's anything I can do today to help. I think I scratched the eyball, and that there might be some dirt or something in my right eye, still.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Mike
