What Causes Eye Pain While On Advil?

Posted on Wed, 27 Dec 2017

Question: Hi - I dropped hard plastic on my eye (trying to put something on my shelf and it fell down). My vision is clear, but my eye hurts. I iced it, took Advil, and tumeric.

It is bothering me. I have never had an eye injury before - do I just wait it out.

Thanks
