What Causes Irritation And Light Sensitivity In The Eyes After Contact With Dust?

My s husband was repairing a ceiling and got some debris in his eye late last night. It has continuously become more painful and irritated, sensitive to light. He used some eye wash that was in our first aid kit and it seemed to make it worse . We are going to the Dr tomorrow. What can he do for the pain and irritation till then. Should we just go to the emergency room ? Thanks for your time and help. Leslie blackford
