Hello,

It will heal in three to four days. You can apply topical eye ointment like tobramycin eye ointment after cleaning with soap and water. Do not rub the eyes as it will cause an infection like conjunctivitis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
