Hi,
I can't really tell from the pic, but it might be something like blepharitis if your upper eyelid is kind of puffy causing your eye to be half way closed.  Get a hot soaked clean cloth and place it on top of your eye lid for several minutes. Wash your eye with baby shampoo for a few days too.

If you mean like it feels like an object is in your eye then you need to go to the ER right now. It could be dangerous to leave it in. do not try to look for it and do not take it out yourself.

Also if you are in pain, go to the ER right now too, it could be a serious allergy reaction.

If that is not the case, then I think you should go see a doctor tomorrow morning regardless if its blepharitis or not.  good luck!

I can't tell much from the photograph. Find an ophthalmologist near you at www.aao.org and get in tomorrrow morning or ask your personal physician to refer you. If you do have severe pain do go to an ER
