The drops keep her comfortable for a little while, but the pain keeps coming back. I even tried one of those eyelid scrubbing wipes this morning and switched her to a more intensive eye drop. She was walking around with her hand over her eye for an hour or two then decided to try to keep it open more. I think the blinking helps some, but I still see a trip to the doctor in her future.
@Mahm:  Back when I scratched my eye, my wife worked for an Opthamologist.  He called in an Rx for me.  It hurt very bad and I couldn't keep it open.  I put the ointment in, my wife put a bandage over the eye (so I would keep it shut), and I felt much better the next morning. Hopefully your daughter will feel better in the morning.  If not, a doctor would be a wise move.
