Any tips on getting something out of your eye?

I have had something in my eye for 2 days now, and it just keeps getting worse and worse. I've tried everything I can think of, flushed with a whole lot of water several times, hot washcloths... nothing is helping. I don't know if it's something worth going to the doctor over. Any suggestions?Any tips on getting something out of your eye?
An eye injury can feel like there is something stuck in your eye. You could have inadvertently damaged your cornea (the outer covering of your eyeball). Since it has persisted for a few days and keeps getting worse, I would suggest seeing a doctor. Even if it is something stuck there, it is probably irritating the cornea, which could be causing the discomfort. And that could lead to a corneal injury. My advice: See a doctor.

Two days is too long for this kind of thing, and something under the lower eyelid is unusual - most particles of foreign matter lodge behind the upper eyelid. Have a doctor look at it. Don't risk permanent eye damage.
This is going on to long, go to an ophthalmologist, whatever was in your eye could still be in but it's probably out by now and what your feeling is irritation from it, don't play when it comes to your eyes, go get help.
you might have a sty if you see swelling...it normally goes away in less than a week.

most likely, there is nothing in your eye. you may have an injury to the sclera or cornea. visit an ER for eval. in the meantime, quit rubbing your eye.
